The social network Facebook is willing not to let other services eat up ground. And it is that, despite being an ideal platform to publish, comment and share content about a artist, television program or movie, Twitter continues to be the option most chosen by users to offer public opinion. Something that could change with the next function that is coming to Facebook both through the platform Android as iOSAnd this application has learned to listen
This is a new function that seeks to make things easier for users who want to share what they are doing or what content they are enjoying on that moment. Thus, instead of carrying out a search for the song, movie or television program that you are consuming, the Facebook application will listen to the purest Shazam style to go carry out this process fully automatically. But the features of this new function do not end there.
By performing this process, the user will post on their wall a 30-second track of that song recognized by Facebook so that other users can listen to part of the song without having to go into legal issues.Something similar happens with TV shows, series and films, in which case it links to your Facebook page , the season and number of chapter or title according to the content is revealed, and a thumbnail is published to see what it looks like. Questions that, without a doubt, seek debate about the content that the user enjoys.
To use this function, all you have to do is open the menu to publish a new status Thus, in addition to the current system in which to indicate the mood through an emoticon that has already achieved more than 5 billion uses since its implementation in January 2013, now appears an emoticon that represents somesoundbar An indicator that Facebook is listening to the user's environment to detect what content is being played find listening or viewing, offering your image and description instantly on the screen to select and add as part of the profile update.

This new feature in the style of Shazam is coming to both Androidas to iOS in the coming days according to the media outlet TechCrunch, although it is not has yet confirmed a concrete list of countries in which it will operate from launch. A curious strategy to get debate but which, in addition, could bring with it a new advertising platform to further monetize the social network. Something that does not seem feasible yet, since the use that will be given to this function is not known, but it could suggest ads for ticket sales of artists whose music is listened to and shared , For example. For now it will be necessary to wait a little longer to be able to share what content is being enjoyed just by letting Facebook listen for a few seconds. A question that can make the hair stand on end for users more jealous of their privacy, given the recent image of the social network.
