Users will have access to new feeds filled with curated content based on their location or interests.
Facebook has announced that it will add a bundle of new features to Messenger to attract Gen Z and millennials.
The news comes as young people increasingly favor other social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Facebook suffered an almost 40% drop in the number of teens using it between 2014 and 2022. It had the biggest fall in users of any social media platform, surpassing old favorites like image-sharing platform Tumblr.
Facebook is now testing a new «Local» tab. This feature will pull together regional content from sources like Marketplace, Groups, and Events into a single tab.
Local will then recommend things in your neighborhood, including free stuff in your area and recommendations for local events or venues.
