Facebook just made it easier to share content from other apps
- 9 years ago
Facebook is redesigning the way its iOS users share content from third-party apps inside of Facebook.
While this functionality has existed within iOS for some time, the experience up until now hasn't always been great, Facebook product manager Alyssa Levitz explained.
"We knew we had a lot of room for improvements to make this a better experience for people," she said, noting that the previous version of the extension didn't allow people to tag friends, preview their post or filter who would be able to see the post they shared.
The new sharing feature, which is rolling out Wednesday to developers that already use the existing share extension, makes sharing from third-party apps feel much more like sharing on Facebook itself.
