- Facebook is introducing a “Friends” tab, which will display only content from friends in the feed.
- This feature will remove distractions and suggested posts, bringing back the original Facebook experience.
- This new change is only rolling out to U.S. and Canada as of now.
In its newsroom post , Facebook talked about the new “Friends” tab and how it’s bringing back the OG experience that made us fall in love with the social media platform in the first place. The announcement says:
“So starting today in the United States and Canada, the new Friends tab provides an experience made up entirely of content from your Facebook friends.”

Currently, the Facebook Friends tab shows your friend requests and suggestions for people you may know. However, soon it will feature a feed showing content just from your friends . This change could help filter out a lot of junk that people have grown weary of. They also mentioned, “We’ll be adding several “OG” Facebook experiences throughout the year, beginning with the revamped Friends tab”.
This direction to bring back the charm of what initially made Facebook such a fun place is certainly a good move on the company’s part, but I feel it is too late for it now. Most of its younger audience has left the platform for services like TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter. I don’t know how long it has been since I received a friend request on the app.
