Facebook is shutting down Friend List Feeds sometime today, as indicated by a message posted in the Facebook application. The feature allowed users to look through just those posts from one of their designated companion lists, for instance, family, work colleagues, neighbors, industry peers et cetera. The final product was a significantly more customized version of Facebook one where you could get up to speed with the updates that were important to you, without the clutter from Facebook Pages, posts from acquaintances or those from companions whose updates you couldn’t have cared less to take after for some other reason.

To utilize Friend List Feeds, you would first need to create a companion list in Facebook. Furthermore, to be clear those companion lists are not leaving.

Despite of everything you need to boast about your professional achievements to your industry colleagues or post infant pictures for your family to see, that will at present be possible.

Facebook’s note in regards to the channels’ shutdown says “don’t worry you can, in any case, keep on creating, alter and offer to your friend list.” What’s winding down is the Friend List Feeds, which is an approach to peruse these specific individuals’ updates in their own particular separate News Feed inside the Facebook application.

To get to this feature, there’s a segment called “Channels” in the Facebook application that would list every one of the channels accessible to you, in light of your companion lists.

Friend list has been around on Facebook for various years; however, the first version required a considerable measure of physical work. You’d initially need to create a list, title it, at that point experience every one of your companions one-by-one to figure out who to include. Furthermore, obviously, as you included new Facebook companions, you’d need to make sure to add them to the appropriate list, as well.

Hardly any embraced this feature truth be told, Facebook said in 2011 that 95 percent of Facebook users hadn’t made a private list. To make things less complex, Facebook propelled “keen lists,” where it started auto-grouping your companions into lists for you to spare you the exertion. Facebook concentrated on making shrewd lists where it could recognize some normal factor in light of profile information like individuals who went to class with you, individuals you work with, individuals who live inside 50 miles of you, and different things.

That way, you could utilize the lists for particular sharing and peruse their feeds, without doing crafted by list-building yourself.

Yet, even with Smart Lists, it appears very few individuals likely utilized the “Friend List Feeds” feature, specifically or maybe, even knew it existed.

Moreover, with the rise of Facebook Groups, the individuals who need to share and browse posts concentrated on a given topic like neighborhood news dialogs about a most loved show, individuals experiencing a similar health emergency, or whatever else could simply join a private gathering.

As per Facebook’s message, Friend List Feed is shutting down on August 9, 2018. However, the feature is as yet accessible as of the season of composing. (Facebook said this could be expected to a more seasoned application version.)

However, the organization has affirmed its shutdown by expressing that:

“We’re shutting down this lesser-used feature to focus our efforts on improving the main News Feed experience,” a spokesperson said. “While people won’t be able to view custom feeds from lists of friends, they’ll still be able to create and edit friend’s lists, and share just to these audiences whenever they post to Facebook. In addition to these options, they can also keep customizing News Feed by visiting News Feed preferences to choose which posts they want to see first, or hide posts they don’t want to see.”
