Facebook is renaming its News Feed, which is its primary section for users to see posts from others, to just Feed. The change, which was announced via a recent post, appears to be a part of the recent Meta rebrand. Here are the details.
The new change comes after Facebook’s News Feed was first introduced 15 years ago. While the name change isn’t a major one, it does try to show the Meta-owned social media platforms’ focus, which will primarily be metaverse, going forward.

The Facebook News Feed was also into showing more political content than what’s a user’s friend was posting and to curb this, it began taking some measures too. The name change seems like another one and might help people see this section as just for posts from friends with some percentage of news content. It will also help people know that the”Facebook Feed” is not just for news pieces!
