F8 is meant to be a developer conference, where discussion are held and presentation being presented about next big thing from Facebook. . Here we present to summary of things that a Facebook user can expect in near future.
Messenger
The messenger is where you will see most changes in the immediate future. Having acquired WhatsApp, and not done much about it, Facebook is set to use the messenger as a tool for you to communicate with businesses, track packages, make payments, and so on.
3D Video
Users will be able to pan around the video using the cursor. While this might not sound exciting on a regular 2D screen but on a virtual reality (VR) headset it will be a pleasurable experience.
Video Sharing
Facebook plans to mimic video functionality of YouTube with this feature. Facebook plans on having more videos than before, and even allow you to upload videos to Facebook and embed them on other pages.
AI
AI, or artificial intelligence, is now going to be used to ensure that you only see the things that you care about on your News Feed, instead of being overburdened by things you may not care about. This is to make your Facebook experience more streamlined, and ensure that you don’t spend too much time scrolling through things.
Synced Comments
You will now be able to comment on news websites, and ensure that your wonderfully composed comments will make it to your profile, and you will be able to interact with other posters easily.
