From now on every time you post on your
Facebook page, Facebook will open your article
in Instant Articles – it will take over the entire
screen on your mobile device and will load very
quickly.

4. MESSENGER & BOTS
- WHAT IS THIS?
As part of the new Messenger Platform, bots can
provide anything like weather and traffic
updates, receipts, shipping notifications, and live
automated messages — all by interacting directly
with the people who want to get them. The
Messenger Send / Receive API will support also
images and interactive rich bubbles containing
multiple calls-to-action.

5. PROFILE VIDEOS
& PICTURES
Facebook launched “Facebook Profile Expression
Kit” which allows developers sync their apps with
the profile video feature. What this means exactly
is say e.g. you’re using an Instagram app
Boomerang or any other similar app where you
create a video and immediately share it as a
Facebook Profile Video

6. SAVE BUTTON
Right now, Facebook has introduced a new “Save”
button, where readers can save everything
outside Facebook – that is articles, videos, and
products. Everything will be saved into their
Saved folder on Facebook, where they can easily
access it later from any device.

7. CROSSPOSTED
VIDEOS
It sounds very sophisticated and complicated but
the principle is quite simple – sharing the same
video across different Facebook pages (if you
manage more than one).

8. QUOTE SHARING
From now on you can select the piece of article, a
blog post or an interview and immediately share it
on Facebook. No, this doesn’t mean copy and
paste into Facebook post update – this is actually
sharing the quote directly from where you’ve
found it.

9. EMBED COMMENTS
Continuing with improved timeline experience,
Facebook also introduced a minor tweak to
embed functions – you can now embed any
comment shared on business pages (not for
private pages).
