Facebook's News Feed will soon show you stuff from your friends and family first

29 June, 2016
Facebook has announced that it's tweaking its News Feed yet again, following user feedback. Soon, after the change is implemented, you're supposedly going to see what your friends and family post first. Stuff from "friends you care about" will be higher up in your News Feed than before, all in a move meant to ensure you don't miss any important things shared by the people you actually know in real life.

    To me FB has become my news outlet...and that's the only use i make of it. In the past it was more of my picture album but from a few years back I'm just not up to posting my personal stuff in this new impersonal wall. For that I'm leaning more to private cloud services like Google photos.
    I liked that facebook gave the user the option to see post from certain people first and I think this move is positive (It should bring back a little of the social aspect of the "Social" media) but it may be too little too late. In the end facebook knows its business is to sell publicity and if no one is watching there is no reach to sell, the have to bring people back...

        Most recent is broken most of the time it shows you posts that are couple days old and you have got to set it to top stories to see new posts

          its been several years already.. and they still can't fix this broken news feed. the younger generation are no longer using facebook . all i see is 30+ users and their farmville posts.
          facebook will die slowly.

            As far as there still will be an option to sort newsfeed by most recent, it's no problem.

                    Why even bother friending someone on facebook if you don't actually know them and you don't want to see their annoying posts? So you can pretend that you have a lot of friends? That's sad.
