Facebook: Direct Destination for All Video
Facebook recently announced that its video tab has become the primary destination for all types of videos on the platform, such as reels, long-form videos, and live content. This update aims to enhance the user experience by offering a central location for users to discover and engage with content spanning a wide variety of popular topics and trends.
Additionally, editing tools previously available only for reels have now been expanded to be directly accessible within the Facebook feed. This means that users can now create the same type of engaging and dynamic videos directly on the main Facebook platform rather than only through reels, making content creation and sharing more enjoyable and seamless for Facebook users.

After Threads’ initial huge success upon the first week of launch, there have since been reports of a significant decrease in user engagement and retention. However, Mark Zuckerberg remains optimistic and addressed concerns about the decline. He mentioned potential future solutions to increase retention and engagement, including introducing a desktop version, implementing a feed of followed accounts, and adding an edit button.
