The media company has released some new features for the users which can be used to make pictures look better on the networking site.
Facebook has made another update on the social media website for the users to bring interesting changes to the pictures the users post on their profiles for their friends to see. The new option that has been added to the site provides the users with the chance to put in more emotions to the text and content they post, by attaching it with some new and exciting stickers, that too on the pictures placed anywhere they want.
The users can not only add different stickers and emoticons to their pictures, they can also write texts on them. The update has specially been made to the desktop site as the users using the media site on their smart phones and app already had access to all these features. For users who have been using Snapchat on a regular basis, this particular news is sure to turn out to be an exciting one as now they can apply the same options and text to their pictures on the social networking site like the way they could do so on the popular chatting app.
Quite like Snapchat, Facebook business has also analyzed the likes of users who are fond of sharing their pictures with friends and typing out different texts on them as well as applying filters on the pictures that make them look much better and creatively attractive. As per the news reports, the social media giant has updated the site with an option to use new filters on the pictures people post. These filters are around five in number and have been named according to the season where the winter one will give the picture a blue-ish look and the summer one will make the picture brighter. Similarly, the rest of the filters bring a different look to the pictures. However, it depends on the user if he wishes to use the filters on his pictures or just stick to the original one.
Another significant change that has been brought about to the picture uploading feature is that now the users can also crop out their pictures right before making the upload. This was only allowed to be done on the profile pictures but the media company has now offered the same features to all the pictures that a user posts on the social media site. Along with that, the pictures can also be rotated and can be encrypted with different sized fonts as per the likes of the user. The firm has made sure that the user does not feel the need to go to some other photo editing app if he wishes to make edits and can do the same on the networking firm’s site.
The social networking site has grown massively, but investors are now wondering if there's space for more growth or not.
Facebook Inc has achieved a little bit of what it has always planned to obtain and that is: millions and millions of more active users. According to recent news, it was seen that currently the social networking site has recorded around 1.4 billion users to be active on its media platform. Since 2004 when the media company was initiated, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is looking for reasons to growth. In 2008, after four years only, the firm had received an active user base of 100 million users which was taken well by the networking company. Keeping in mind the current situation of the firm where the monthly active users are seen to be more than the massive population of China, the investors and shareholders are now wondering whether there is more space for more users or not.
In the last quarter that was reported by Facebook networking company, it was noted down that MAU showed a slower speed of growth increasing by around 13 percent only while on the other hand, the quarter before that recorded a growth of around 15 percent in the users. To answer the question of investors and shareholders whether the firm will grow further or not, some analysts have given their verdict that they believe the social media platform to have a lot more space to expand more. This is being said, however, due to the plans of the media company that analysts believe are going to work in quite a positive way for it.
Recently it was seen that Facebook app was launched again in a version that was smaller in size but quite useful for users who use internet connections that are slower than others. This release of a compact app is for users who are seen using internet on 2G networks rather than 3G and 4G and it has been released not only in Africa and Europe but also in Asia and Latin America. The size of the app is just about 1 MB which makes it all the more easier for users to download it.
In the light weighted app, options of sharing photos have been provided along with the push notification system. However, some of the features have been eradicated from the app given its small size, which include watching videos and tracking locations of the users.
Other than that, the free internet feature that has been provided to developing countries by the social media network through internet.org is another venture that is making analysts quite positive about the future of the company, as through this new platform, the users are growing at a massive speed.
The new GIF styled News Feed that is soon going to be updated by the social networking site is sure to interest the users.
According to the most recent news about the social networking site, Facebook was seen to plan the launch of new interesting GIFs in the News Feed on the social media site which will provide a whole new platform for the users to enjoy as now their interaction with their friends will be becoming all the more exciting. As per a spokesperson of the media company, it was announced that with the help of the updated GIFs, the users will be able to be more expressive with their views and moods on the networking platform now and this in return will make the experience quite a lot of fun for them.In a recent press release, Facebook was seen to announce that from now onwards it will be adopting the GIF style on the feed that appears on the homepage of the users. These animations will in return be improving the way the user’s home looks like, as it will also be upgrading the look to a more graphic dominated page than before. On the other hand, it has also been released that the firm will be incorporating this new feature gradually which is why all the users will not be able to view such changes on their news feed. The media company is still working to fully establish this on its network base, therefore, all the users will not be able to view the changes all at once.The fact that Facebook has agreed to adopt the GIF style for its social networking site has turned out to be a surprise for the analysts and it is has been taken as an important step taken by the company. This is being said because previously, the media firm had refused to adopt the graphic style news feed for its users, dismissing the suggestion saying that it will be making the media website too chaotic.Keeping in mind the past of Facebook, it can easily be seen that the firm has always paid more attention to its video streaming option more than it ever gave to GIFs. Two years back, the networking company was seen to release auto-playing videos along its web content and the support it launched for those videos did not make the management of the social networking firm accept the interference of GIFs to improve the features.For users who wish to try this feature on their Facebook homepages, all they have to do is put a link from any graphically oriented website into their status bar and post it. This would help the graphic content to appear on their personal profiles without a glitch.
