Overview
- The Friends tab provides a feed showcasing posts, stories, reels, birthdays, and friend requests exclusively from users' Facebook friends.
- This marks the first phase of Meta's year-long initiative to reintroduce features inspired by Facebook's original mission of connecting people.
- The feature replaces the previous Friends tab functionality, which was limited to friend requests and 'People You May Know' suggestions.
- Currently available in the U.S. and Canada, Meta has not yet announced a timeline for a global rollout of the Friends tab.
- Meta plans to expand the initiative with additional nostalgic features throughout 2025 to enhance cultural relevance and user engagement.
