Facebook explainer: How to use new update to take control of news feed
New Facebook news feed features give users more control over the content that appears on their screens. Here's how to make the most of them.
Facebook brought back the chronological news feed, sort of, and gave its users a lot more control over the content that appears on their timelines and the interactions they have on the platform. The social media behemoth made the announcement via a blog post on Wednesday, 31 March 2021.

Users can also swap between the standard algorithmic feed and a chronological one that displays the latest post first.
