Facebook’s story updates
Facebook is an American online social media and social networking service company based in Menlo Park, California. As of December 2017, Facebook has 2.13 billion active users around the globe and it is still increasing as the population is growing. Even the unborn child has an account. But there are countries which blocked people from using Facebook, China and North Korea are on top. As of the end of December 2017, there are 25, 105 employees in Facebook around the world. Facebook today is the biggest social media medium where people post and share information to the world. How does Facebook earn money? Well, Facebook is alive because of advertising. A portion of Facebook revenue comes from the bulk access to the social media data sold to the third parties.
Facebook has been updating each year and to add up to the new update of Facebook, which is the creation of daily stories, the biggest social media platform has announced 3 new options for Facebook stories. Here are what is coming on every one’s feet:
1. Audio posts.
Facebook will now enable users to post audio clips to their Facebook Stories with, ofcourse, a colorful background. This is beneficial for user with lower bandwith, in which for them, video is not always an option, audio can provide a more engaging, interactive option to combine with images. Having an audio clip option will enable the users to alleviate language barriers and also connects with the increasing usage of voice search.
2. Story archives.
Same with instagram’s update, Facebook story will now have their stories archived! Worried because you can not see your older stories anymore? Worry no more! Because this option will let you see the previous and way back stories you shared. Soon you will see a new ‘Your Archive’ option at the top of your Stories feed, which will give you access to all the Stories that you have previously posted, enabling you to re-use older content. This option will also give you a chance to re-share your previous stories. This can benefit brands on Instagram who wanted to show off specific products or themed content within their profile, although it is not yet clear that the same capacity will be available on Facebook proper as yet.
3. Save it all on Facebook.
And the last new update will enable users to save their camera clips and images direct to Facebook, as opposed to taking up space on their device. This will enable users with limited memory capacity to still save their content. Internal memory capacity is a problem to many phone users, it will be very hard to maximize the space on your phone but with the help of this option, then finally you can have enough space for your phone. Plus if you want to enjoy the moment, without focusing on editing and captioning your Stories posts, you can take a video or picture, then upload it to your Stories feed later.
Facebook stories has not been really a thing to most people today but eventually it will be. This is just the beginning.
