Facebook’s focus has always been to make it easy to stay close to the people and things you love. Today, we’re introducing improvements that help cut through the clutter so you can easily update your profile, find new content via search, and enjoy photos and videos in your Feed.
Smarter, Cleaner Feed and Streamlined Navigation
We’re making Feed simpler and more immersive, so that it’s easier to enjoy the content you care about most and connect with others over shared interests. Now when you post multiple photos, they’ll be arranged in a standardized grid. You can also like photos in Feed by double-tapping them, and see Feed content in full screen when you click into it.
Soon, the most-used Facebook features on your tab bar – like Reels, Friends, Marketplace, and Profile – will be front-and-center in your tab bar, so you can easily access them. You’ll also see a refreshed menu design and cleaner tab notifications to catch up on the latest updates across Facebook.
In addition, your search results will now show more content in a more immersive grid layout that supports all content types. We’re testing a new full-screen viewer that lets you explore different photo and video results without losing your place in search. We’ll look to expand this feature to more content and post types in the coming months.
We also want you to shape your Feed in the ways you want. You can give feedback as to why you don’t like a certain Facebook post or Reel so that the content you see moving forward is more relevant. We will continue to introduce new ways for you to shape your Feed and provide your algorithm feedback in the coming months.
Simplified Content Creation
We redesigned the way you can create Stories and Feed posts to make them more intuitive by putting the most popular tools like adding music and tagging friends where you can easily find them. The new interfaces make it easier to create great content with minimal distractions, and the advanced tools like colorful text backgrounds are still just a tap away. Audience and cross-posting settings are prominently displayed in the composer, making them easy to locate and adjust.
The commenting experience across Feed, Groups, and Reels has also been simplified with streamlined replies, prominent badging, and new pinning tools, so conversations are easier to follow. New and expanded controls will also help group admins and creators monitor the conversations happening on their content, and everyone can now anonymously flag comments that are irrelevant or don’t fit the spirit of the conversation.
Profiles Made for Real Connections
We’re also making it easier to find people with similar interests. When you update your profile, Facebook will help you discover friends who share your passions or who may have useful advice on shared interests by surfacing them within your profile. For example, if you update your profile to show you’re into sourdough bread baking or planning a trip to Nashville, Facebook will show you friends who can give you sourdough starter tips or offer suggestions on the best local spots.
With this updated experience, people can get to know others on a deeper level — from where you work and live, to what TV shows you’re binging and what album you’re playing on repeat, to your hobbies, travel, and more. You can choose who sees what on your profile and whether to share these updates to your Feed.
These improvements are just the beginning in making Facebook less cluttered and easier to use, so you can focus on the people and interests you care the most about. Stay tuned for more updates in 2026!
