With the latest update, Facebook is changing the way News Feed is prioritized to encourage users to interact more with their loved ones. In the coming days, Facebook will start predicting which posts users would want to share with their friends and prioritize those in the feed. Additionally, posts from family and close friends that users interact with frequently will be given more importance over other types of content.
Previously, a post’s visibility in the News Feed was determined by its engagement metrics, such as the number of likes, comments, and shares it received. Now, Facebook will show content to relevant users regardless of its engagement levels.
Live broadcasts will also stand out among other posts, gaining more prominence in the updated News Feed.
