On its right side, well viewers can actually see and read the top tweets.
• Facebook Video Downloads – Last July 11, Facebook had a trial on their new feature which will allow its users to download video contents that was uploaded by different users all over the world. The said download option will appear alongside the Like and Comments Option, which will help users with low internet connectivity to watch it later. Sadly, the trial will only be applicable to a small group of users that was chosen by Facebook.
• Facebook Messenger account switching – Months ago, Facebook updated a new feature for Android users to actually change its Messenger’s users. Now, Facebook Messenger is now bringing the same feature to iOS.
