How Facebook is going to change after the F8 developer meet.

This year Facebook faced criticism from the people & government more than ever, after its link with Russian meddling with the electoral process through paid ads & data leaks by Cambridge Analytica to profile people basis on their political inclinations exposed in public domain.

Things went southwards & Mark Zuckerberg had to testify in the front of America’s Congress about Facebook policies & its role in the mismanagement of peoples private data and all this was happening just sometime before the Facebook F8 developers meet.

Everybody thought that Facebook would come down under the intense pressure,& this developer meet would be more about security & data protection. But all this pressure didn’t budge Facebook & they do introduce some cool new features to delight its users & developers.

Developers before this meet were little disgruntled with Facebook as it had suspended validation & verification of all third party Apps amid the controversy of Cambridge Analytica. At the meet, Facebook Confirmed that the validation process would be starting soon & good developers who adhere to users data policy would not be penalised or locked out of the system.

So here are the big takeaways from the Facebook F8 Meet we at Vital Media Solution summarised for you.

• Facebook goes the tinder way – Facebook accepted the fact that people over its social network do come for dating & finding partners. So to make the conversation more meaningful & help these people, Facebook is going to integrate a dating platform in the social media app where people can find people on the basis of interests groups & events. To steer clear of the allegations of copying Tinder formula, Mark Zuckerberg said it won’t be a casual hookup app & people would be coming here to find long lasting relationships. Let’s see how this workout for the Facebook & what users reactions will be when this actual thing rolls out, we will be talking more on this when features go out live.

• Whatsapp & Instagram Group Video Call- Facebook introduced a group video call feature for Instagram & WhatsApp to tie users to its platform for all the needs. This feature would be an add-on benefit & people are gonna love it as who doesn’t want to talk to all the friends at once.

• Voting System – A new features we would love to see how it going to functionally benefit the people & pages. Like many other apps like 9Gag, Youtube, Facebook is going to introduce a voting system in comments section & more upvotes more upward visibility of comments.

• Facebook Messenger – A new clean simple & functional design is promised for the messenger. It would help both user & people to have conversations more seamlessly & effectively.

• VR & 3D photos- A new feature is going to be live soon which would convert your 2D photos into VR rooms giving it a realistic play down of your old memories. Ok don’t spook out before seeing this feature live, let’s hope it doesn’t turn out as those pushy videos come for birthdays or as reminders what you did two years back in a party.

• Oculus Go- A new Oculus go will be available in the select markets at starting price of 199 $. And best thing now you don’t need a computer to connect this. More updates when actual products come out.
