Facebook for Android and iOS Updated with Lots of New Features
#1
Replay comments, reactions, better discovery

Facebook has just announced it will introduce several new features for Android and iOS users in the next couple of weeks. All these new features aim to turn Facebook Live into a strong competitor to Periscope and other similar video services.

Among the new features that will be made available to all those who use Facebook Live, the company's live video platform, it’s worth mentioning the ability to see the comments that came in while a broadcast was live so that users don’t have to miss out on all the interaction that took place. This new feature is called Replay Comments, and it should be available along with the others.

Reactions is just another feature confirmed by Facebook, which will allow users to react to something during a live stream with a Like, a Heart or any of the other reactions Facebook has already launched in the past.

Better discovery for mobile users, Facebook Live Map for desktop users

Facebook Live users will also be able to choose to go live within a Group or Event page, so only the people in those groups or invited to those events will see the stream.

Last but not least, Facebook Live will feature better discover, so users will be able to invite friends to watch with them, find new live feeds with a dedicated tab in the Facebook application, and look at a glove to find new streams.

In other news, developers have announced that they are releasing a Facebook Live Map on desktop, so people in more than 60 countries will now be able to share live video. Thanks to the Facebook Live Map, users will be provided with a window to what’s happening in the world at any time. New metrics for Pages sharing live video will be available too.

According to Facebook, all the new features mentioned earlier will be rolled out on Android and iOS over the coming weeks. If you can’t wait to take advantage of these video-oriented features, then you should keep an eye on your Facebook application for any updates available via Google Play Store.
