Facebook and Instagram Revamp: Enhanced News Feed and Threaded Comments

Facebook, the social media titan, is lending a new look to its News Feed for desktop and mobile applications to ensure easier navigation. The redesign will embolden almost everything – from preview links to the iconic “Like” button – so users can find and engage with these features more easily. In addition to a bigger, bolder interface, the color contrast for text is also set to improve, rendering the text more legible.

On the side of navigation enhancements, Facebook is determined to make its platform more transparent. The tweak will offer users a sneak peek about link content before they click through. Additionally, Facebook users will get real-time intel about whose post they are commenting on or liking while they are in the post itself. A more noticeable “Back” button is scheduled to appear, which will take users back to the previous page, exiting a post entirely.

Another exciting feature of the update is the conversation-like appearance of comments. On top of that, the revamp makes it easier to discern between replies to a general post and responses directed specifically at someone.

This comprehensive update is projected to gradually roll out worldwide in the coming weeks. According to Facebook, this enhancement should not affect ongoing activities including Pages before the update.

Simultaneously, Facebook’s photo-sharing app, Instagram publicly shared its plans to introduce threaded responses. Now, replies to a comment will soon be conveniently grouped underneath it, creating a threaded conversation.

This Instagram update is already part of iOS and is being unrolled to Android users globally over the next several weeks.

Though it might seem unusual that two entities within the same corporation have simultaneous updates, it’s no anomaly in the ever-evolving world of tech and social media.

To enjoy these fresh updates, users may need to perform a manual update of their applications, in case their devices are not configured for automatic updates.
