Although lately we have seen very few news on Facebook, the social network par excellence, seems to have been doing "homework" during these months of silence and today it has made official a renewal in its Newsfeed. The core and elementary part of the social network, where we see all the information of our contacts and news associated with our "Likes"
An evolution and a change with which they wanted to reflect what in the words of Marc Zuckerberg himself has been a constant and very important growth especially in visual content, thanks to mobile devices with cameras. And a way to consume that information also on mobile devices. And it is here on the mobile where they have been focusing for more months. They are not without reason when a large part of their traffic comes through these roads.
That is why the change that Facebook has brought this time is very focused on giving more importance and relevance to the central part of our wall, focusing on what our friends share be it photos or links (that is, and in short, extending the connections to companies or content generators). It is especially in this aspect where the new Facebook design places more emphasis.
And it seems that behind the redesign there has been an important research work, to listen to the user. Something that has been worth to him to remove many dispensable things and to which we did not pay attention to them. Having 3 columns that divided the information of the publications, chat on the right and applications and others on the right, it remains in a single, better distributed column which is accompanied by a much more comfortable and enjoyable sidebar.
But it is not only in the aspect that the radical change with which Facebook wants to give the best of itself, adapting a little to the new ways of sharing and consuming information. Aware that many times there is a large amount of information that appears to us and does not interest us, or is repetitive, it puts at our disposal various tools with which we can really see what we are interested in seeing. An objective that it seems that Facebook has fulfilled this redesign.
To begin with, it will summarize all those repeated publications, for example when a friend shares a video and there are several of our contacts who also share it. Facebook will highlight it in a single publication with the icons of the friends who have shared it. Much more comfortable.

Another of the functions that we are going to love when it comes to choosing what to We are interested in seeing is the possibility of configuring the feeds and viewing them as we want, so we will have a kind of channel with the type of content that interests us that can be chosen at the click of a mouse. Channels of friends, of the media that interest us, or of the artists that we usually follow. Everything is parameterizable, and we can highlight any theme like this, and choose what to see at any time in a simple way.
Services are also added for the theme of images, share links, and ultimately everything that gives life to the social network. A redesign that has gained a lot in both appearance and functionality and that is adapted for both web and mobile, which closes the circle, so to speak.
There is much more information on the Newsfeed page, in which you can put yourself on the waiting list to access the new design, which is going to be distributed little by little, because they are very interested in receiving feedback from users and finishing polishing it. One more symptom of the importance and change in trend of Facebook, which seems to stop imposing changes and has more the opinion of users.
