Facebook now suggests new friends based on Instagram contacts
It shouldn't be weird to start seeing familiar faces from Instagram in the Facebook app And that's because the social network has improved or broadened its scope so that users continue increasing their number of friends This time with the profiles you already know from the social network Instagram A daring move by Facebook that may not be liked by all users of both social networksAnd it is that the use profiles in one and the other are quite different so that you want to have the same contacts in both.
Apparently, and for several days now, the section of suggestions for friends called People you may know, is showing profiles of users who are already friends on the social network Instagram. An interrelationship that only demonstrates the interest of Facebook in continuing to engage users, in addition to how it uses the information from its different applications among themselves. And we must not forget that Instagram belongs to Facebookfor more than two years.
To date, the People You May Know section offered profiles of Facebook users that could be related in some way to the user. Either because there were common friends or some kind of link between them.Now, to these suggestions are added the relationships already established through Instagram Followers and followers who also have accounts on the social network Facebook and who now offer each other to continue this friendship beyond the photos.
The point is that users must have linked to the social networks Facebook and Instagram Something quite common when you want to share photos and videos from Instagram also on Facebook in the same action. With this, these relationships are established according to other users are followed Keys that have led to display on Facebookthese suggestions.
Of course, now it remains to be seen if this decision seems good to the users We must not forget that Facebook has a much more personal profile, where users post photos and content that are also generally viewed for the rest of the friends and family, with whom they have regular contact or not, but who are present here.However, Instagram has that more artistic component A place to share photos of food, trips or even somewhat more visual and provocative photos that are not always wanted to be shared with the family, but with other users who value achievement and that artistic, daring or differentiating component.
Of course we must not lose sight of the fact that they are social networks and that their greatest value is the number of users andRelationships grow The question is whether Facebook does the right thing when relating data from both social networks. All of this while knowing that their use profiles are very different, and without giving fees to the user to deactivate these issues , thus being able to limit your friends from Instagram to this space, and those from Facebookin that.
