Facebook tests a new status sharing feature
On Facebook they don't sit idly by. And it is that the life of social networks must always be updated at the moment, offering new content, but also new functions and features so that users do not get bored and abandon it for other of the many existing alternatives. That is why it is already testing a new function of the most curious Something that looks like a movement more nostalgic than useful , but that the most common users of your social network may like: Estado de la barra lateral or sidebar status
This is a new function that is still in test mode, in fact it can only be enjoyed at the moment in Taiwan and Australia As its name indicates, it has been inserted in the side menu of the application, where up to now the usual contacts are shown and connected to send direct messages Thus, this function now includes the possibility of adding a slash status with a phrase of what is being done or a thought to share. All this accompanied by a small image or icon that helps to give context to the phrase and the general state of said contact. Something that is very reminiscent of the beginnings of WhatsApp, before it was a messaging tool.
With sidebar status, each user can add a status phrase that is displayed under their name in this messaging sidebar.In this way, as if it were the phrase of Estado of WhatsApp, or aTweet from Twitter, it is possible to display some striking phrase, a action that is being carried out or any question that you want to express In addition, the dozens of icons that Facebook has created to accompany creativity, offering details of food, location, activities. Something that completes and vitamins this section of the social network.
This status is public for all friends, so keep in mind, in case this feature is expanded , that the content will be seen by anyone who takes a look at this side menu Now, the idea that he proposes is that the contacts or closest friends are located at the top of the list, being able to know their activity, thoughts or status by default.And it is that what Facebook wants is to continue connecting people, even with those who do not have continuous contact. A mere excuse to find out what they're doing, what they're feeling or what they're thinking, and maybe it'll lead to a conversation.
At the moment this function is being tested only in the commented markets, so we will still have to wait to see if Facebook decides to include and expand it for all. A way of completing the profiles in the side menu that may well be reminiscent of the times of Messenger (the one who bought Skype, not the one from Facebook) to give a boost to the relationships of the most massive social network in the world.
