Six days ago, Facebook rolled out its Instant Articles to the general public that uses its stock Facebook app, and now, building on the idea that folks like notifications, Facebook’s making a new notifications tab.
On Monday, October 26, Facebook announced a new notifications tab that it’s calling an “expanded, personalized” offering. It’s not simply just another notifications tab. Instead, users will be able to also add “timely info” to the tab, which includes family and friends’ birthdays or other life events, upcoming events that you’ve signed up for, and even get entertainment information from Pages that a user has liked.
Enabling Location History within the app will also allow for the new notifications tab to pony up a variety of information based on your area:
Facebook does note that a user’s current notifications settings won’t change, and this new personalized option will simply be able to be customized even further to what the user wants to be notified about.
The social network says that the update will be rolling out to the iOS (and Android) app soon, but doesn’t give a finalized date of arrival.
