Big Facts of Facebook F8, from Facebook Secret Crush Features to Private Future

Facebook has made several announcements on the first day of its F8 Developer Conference. The full focus of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was on privacy this time. It is a coincidence that on the same day last year, WhatsApp Founder Jen Kume resigned. The reason was the privacy of users' data. Now, Zuckerberg is also talking a lot about the privacy of user data.

However, Mark Zuckerberg has said that the future is private. During the Canon session, announcements have been made to bring some changes and new features in Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Apart from this, the company also told about Oculus Quest and Rift S Virtual Reality Headset.

Facebook Redesign

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called FB5 as the new update of Facebook. Groups and events have been highlighted in this update. That is, after joining a group, you will get personalized news feeds that will be of your knowns and friends. There, you will also get group interaction options.

Instagram is testing a special feature which can be liked by the people who like privacy. Under this feature, the likes will be hid from a user's feed.
