Facebook events are now listed by category

The latest change Facebook is implementing into its mobile apps as well as onto its website has to do with events. The social network seems to want to put more emphasis on this feature compared to the past.

From this point on, if you use the Facebook iOS app, you'll be able to browse nearby events by category. Some examples of such categories include Music, Food & Drinks, Nightlife, as well as Sports & Fitness. These will help you find interesting stuff happening near you in a much easier manner than before. What's more, you can even search for events taking place in other cities, so you can plan your trips accordingly.

Unfortunately there are a couple of caveats regarding the revamped events functionality. First off, for now it's only available for ten US cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, Miami, and Houston. And the new feature is currently limited to the social network's iOS app (an update to which should arrive later today containing the new events discovery style), though it's said to be on its way to the website and the Android app as well.
