Facebook has been the most popular social media, and for everything others are doing, Facebook is reigning them by margins.
In an update, Facebook is allowing users to save their photos and videos, directly to their account in the Facebook cloud. They can also share voice messages with friends, as well as archive favorite Facebook Stories. These three feature are rolling out, initially to users in India.
As for Facebook's app, the camera will automatically enable two of the three features.
Users shooting photos or video with Facebook’s camera will see an option to directly save them to their Facebook accounts. Choosing this should conserve local storage on the users' device. Photos and video saved to Facebook Camera are only visible to the user after they login to Facebook.
The social media network also adds an Audio option.
Available in the Facebook Camera, it allows users to share voice messages as Voice Posts. Because voice recordings are fast and intimate, users aren't required to install any native-language keywords or having any writing proficiency.
Facebook also said that it is rolling out an archive feature where users can save their favorite Facebook Stories.
Indeed this is useful as Stories only live 24 hours at a time.
Facebook Stories was a ghost town. But it looks like more and more users are using it. Partly because the ability to syndicate Instagram Stories there. And with 150 million daily Stories viewers, Facebook is also testing its first Stories ads in the U.S., Mexico and Brazil.
It's no surprise that Facebook is digging through more ways to extract more data from users. These features undoubtedly have an upside for Facebook as an advertising company. Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook team are doing all they can to extract even greater profit off your finely-tuned interests.
