After over 15 years, Facebook has officially renamed News Feed to plain "Feed" and while Meta combats inaccurate information in France, a fresh stand-alone tab covering News is launched

Farewell, News Feed. Hi there, Feed.

The firm announced on Tuesday that the naming of Facebook's core component will be simplified as a better reflection of the vast type of information users view as they browse.

The rebranding began in several components of the company's iconic blue app, and the practice will begin in the weeks that follow. A Facebook official emphasized that the change will have no effects on users' present experience on the platform in whatsoever manner.

When Facebook released News Feed without notification in September 2006, it sparked outrage & risks of banning the networking site.

The title modification was prompted by 2 key modifications generated by the firm in past years.

In January 2018, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that members would be seeing reduced public data like postings by organizations, companies, and media in the News Feeds, rather than more stuff from family members and friends."

In October 2019, a distinct Facebook News section launched in the United States, later moving to Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, & then France.

Furthermore, the absence of the word "news" from the title will be regarded as a reflection of the corporation's changing goals as it advances into a destiny based upon that metaverse instead of its social media application.

According to Meta, Fb News made its appearance inside the United States around October 2019. On Tuesday, Fb News became available as a stand-alone page for France.


Last October, Meta partnered to L'Alliance de la Presse d'Information Généraleand formed partnerships including as many as 100 media sources throughout France, which include leading newspapers like 20 Minutes, La Croix, Le Figaro, Le Journal du Dimanche, Le Parisien, & Les Echos, as well as provincial and daily ones such as La Dépêche du Midi, La Provence, La Voix du Nord, Le DauphinéLibéré, Le Progrès, Le Télégramme, Nice-Matinalso Sud Ouest.

The firm has selected Digital Services, a holding company of Agence France-Presse, as the committed content management peer for Fb News throughout France. The 2 companies would collaborate to guarantee a decent representation of reports issued by authors and broadcast networks is illustrated over a range of topics.

6 additional authors have been introduced to Meta press's Bulletin network promoting individual authors, which was established in June last year.
