To engage a new audience and to make the platform more interesting for users Facebook is introducing several new features.
Customizable Avatar Sticker
Recently, Matt Navarra tweeted that Facebook is rolling out its customizable avatar feature in the UK. Previously, this feature was only launched in Australia. This new Avatarcreation feature is expected to be launched in more countries, soon. Users can even turn on their cameras to see themselves while creating the Avatars. The new Avatar feature will let you choose each and every tiny detail of yourself; you can choose your hair color, your eye color, face tone, hairstyle, beard style, body shape and the type of outfit you would want to wear. With this feature, you can make your own pack of avatar stickers and share them along with your friends.
Group Keyword Alert Feature
Previously, users had to turn on notifications of all posts so that they don’t miss a specific post including some keywords related to them but not anymore. Now users don’t have to go through all posts of groups just to see a specific post including the kind of content they need. Another new feature expected to be rolling out (soon for all) is the Facebook Keyword Alert feature in groups. With this feature, users can set up a list of keywords they want alerts from and with that, they can be notified whenever someone posts including those keywords. Whenever user will post some content including specified keywords, the user will receive a notification displaying about keyword alert in the specified group and after clicking that user will be directed to the post.
Author Icon
Another new feature launched by Facebook is the author icon displayed on comments. With this feature, it can be revealed easily if an author is commenting on its own posts. The comment posted by the author will have an author icon displayed above which can make it easy for commenters to distinguish among others.Another example of Facebook’s ‘author’ tag in comments pic.twitter.com/FE0BNJTPVC— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) November 12, 2019
