Got no time for a Facebook Post? Now you can Save it for Later

Facebook rolled out another feature this Monday that allows you to save the posts in the news feed and retrieve later. You too must have had such a moment when you find a post of your interest but some emergency crops up and you have to leave Facebook and go. Well, now we have the ‘save’ feature using which the posts can be saved and read later. Every day you come across several posts which can’t be explored at the moment. Now you save the posts you like on the go and return to them in your leisure time or whenever you want to. Post items that can be saved include places, links, TV, music and videos.

The items will be saved as private by default unless you select the option to share with your friends. On Facebook website the saved items can be accessed from the left hand side of the page. Whereas, in Facebook mobile app they are under ‘More’ tab.

This feature has been introduced to let users have some autonomy over the news feed content. This counters the existing Facebook narrative which involved an experiment over 700,000 users. These users were asked to manipulate their newsfeed content in order to determine if some kind of ‘emotional contagion’ is triggered by social networking. For a majority, the answer was yes to a degree. However, the feature will be available to us within next few days on web, iOS and of course android.
