So, what notable things happened this month?

Facebook has started to flag fake news stories.

Facebook is finally going after the fake news stories and giving users the ability to flag them. From recode.net:

That bogus story about Donald Trump your uncle posted on Facebook? It’s still staying on Facebook. But now it’s going to get a warning label.

Facebook Messenger rolls out mention alerts and message Reaction emoji.

Users can now @mention friends in a group chat to send them a special notification to reply to your message, so they don’t miss it in a noisy thread. You just type @, then the person’s name or in-thread nickname, and the name will be highlighted, and that person will get an alert.

Now you can let friends stalk you on Facebook Messenger.

Think your privacy can’t get violated any further? Think again! Facebook now allows your friend to stalk you. Albeit, you have to enable the feature, but once you do that, you will be tracked step by step, updated in real time.

Facebook introduced a new Facebook Messenger feature named “Live Location” on Monday that allows users to share their location with others. Sharing a static location was already possible — I’m at this Starbucks — but now you can share your live location as you move around. That could be a little creepy, but it’s opt in, so you’d only turn it on if you wanted to make yourself easier to find.

Facebook opens up 360-degree live streaming to all users.

You can now be one of the cool kids, and stream live in 360! With the acquisition of Oculus, a popular virtual reality headset, Facebook aims to create more VR compatible content. Allowing 360-degree videos is just another step in that direction.

Facebook just made live streaming 360-degree video relatively easy, provided you have the equipment to capture the content. Users of devices like the new 2017 model Gear 360 just announced at the S8 smartphone launch, or the Insta360 Nano (for iPhone) and Air (for Android), or a host of higher-end models designed for pros, you can go live and broadcast an immersive feed for your audience.

Last but not least, Facebook copies SnapChat ‘stories’ feature.

At the end of March 2017, all users will soon have access to the new Facebook Camera feature that lets them overlay special effects on photos and videos. They can then share this content to a Snapchat clone called Facebook Stories that appears above News Feed on mobile and works similarly to Instagram’s 24-hour ephemeral slideshows. Users also may share these posts to News Feed, individual friends through the new Facebook Direct private visual messages that disappear once digested or any combination thereof.

“As people mostly post photos and videos, Stories is the way they’re going to want to do it,” says Facebook Camera product manager Connor Hayes, noting Facebook’s shift away from text status updates after 10 years as its primary sharing option. “Obviously we’ve seen this doing very well in other apps. Snapchat has really pioneered this,” explained Hayes, less shy to mention the competitor by name than some other Facebook executives.

To conclude, Facebook is expanding their toolset, nothing more, nothing less. So far, we have not heard of any algorithm tweaks for the month of March, so I guess we can consider this a good month!

This month in Facebook! A collection of the most newsworthy happenings!
