Facebook introduces a feature to address the concerns of ex-lovers on social media platform.
When an intimate relations end up, it is normally easy to get rid of unwanted or uncomfortable one-to-one interactions with the ex–lover. This is not the matter with Facebook. If one’s recent ex-lover is in his/her social group, the user could continue to see his/her comments, posts, shares, and pictures in News Feed. It could prove to be enough to make one think that he or she should set the router on fire and run towards the hills, but this is no longer the case.
Facebook is launching new tools that makes breakup little less heartbreaking. Product manager, Kelly Winters, stated, “Starting today, we are testing tools to help people manage how they interact with their former partners on Facebook after a relationship has ended, When people change their relationship status to indicate they are no longer in a relationship, they will be prompted to try these tools.”
Facebook news affirmed that the social media company is only testing the new tools currently in United States only on mobile platform. The new features ask if one likes to witness less of anyone’s profile pictures, name, and other details in his or her News Feed.
You could request the company to stop recommending the person’s name when tagging people or pictures in updates as well. A user could also choose to untag him or herself in posted content that also includes the ex-lover or cut down the levels of those posts’ visibility and hide all following updates from that person.
Facebook news today exclaimed that Kelly stated, “This work is part of our ongoing effort to develop resources for people who may be going through difficult moments in their lives.”
When the social platform was initially introduced in college campuses, it was a relationship statuses’ database. A kind of digitized traffic light party that saved everybody a huge amount of time, but in recent times, users have become very reluctant to declare relations and love on the network.
One rarely finds users choosing to enable the “it's complicated" feature, and instead users are currently prompted to share details about more tangible life events like marriages and parties.
Facebook Breaking news reported that the new feature would soon be launched across the globe but at a time when the company has explained its information collection practices to the Belgian regulatory bodies, as it has been alleged of taking nonmembers and users' personal details without requesting them for an approval.
A Belgian court had previously discovered that Facebook's safety claim to be “not credible and insufficient”, while stating offenders could circumvent the cookie with relevant application.
