Facebook launches an updated Friends tab in the U.S. and Canada, creating a dedicated feed for content from friends only, excluding algorithmic suggestions.
Facebook rolled out a revamped Friends tab feature aimed at reconnecting users with content from people they actually know, marking a strategic return to the platform’s founding social mission. The new feature, now being rolled out in the United States and Canada, creates a dedicated newsfeed of only friends’ content without algorithmic recommendations.
The revamped Friends tab will display friends’ stories, reels, posts, birthdays, and friend requests. The tab used to mostly hold friend requests and « People You May Know » suggestions, but has since transformed into a thoughtfully curated feed that displays only content from confirmed relationships.
