Meta

Starting with Social Media Updates, we should first talk about the latest updates from Facebook. Or –  more clearly – which services the platform is abandoning.

 

Well, at the beginning of May, Facebook informed us about the discontinuation of some of the platform’s services. Among the listed: Nearby Friends, weather alerts and Location History. 

 

These services will disappear from the platform on 31 May 2022 – that’s coming soon. Why these changes? 

 

Facebook says:

“While we’re deprecating some location-based features on Facebook due to low usage, people can still use Location Services to manage how their location information is collected and used.”

 

Does that mean that the platform will no longer collect users’ location information? 

Find out by reading this article.

 

However, this is not the end of the changes on Facebook. Only 10 months after the launch of its podcast service, the platform has also terminated its support. 

Podcasts were Facebook’s answer to the Clubhouse global rise in early 2021. Meta promoted a range of podcast options, including on-page display tools and direct connection options, which would enable Facebook users to tune in to podcasts without leaving the app. Now Meta is planning to remove it from the social-media service starting on June 3.
