Facebook Explore Tab
So, much like the current version of the News Feed, but with a slight change. “Explore” tab is a combination of photos, videos, and articles that are tailored to user’s interest. This tab will also show the pages you have not liked or followed, this is very similar to Instagram’s Search and Explore tab.
The Explore tab will be filled with pages closely related to those you have already like, which will include news, videos, articles and so on. Addition to that you can also see how many of your friends have actually watched a particular video.
In-Addition!
The Explore tab seems way engaging when compared to the old News Feed. The tab is so aligned that it feels like Facebook is continually pushing us to with more video. There is also an inclusion of recommendations for you.
