Facebook’s Newest News Feed Test Is All About Context

Facebook is testing a way to give users more context about the articles they see in their News Feeds

Facebook is testing a way to give users more context about the articles they see in their News Feeds.

Users who are part of the test group will see an “i” button (pictured above) atop the links for certain articles in their News Feeds.

Tapping that button will launch a pop-up with additional context about those articles, including:

  • Wikipedia entries for the publishers of those articles.
  • Trending articles or Related Articles on the same topics.
  • Information about how other Facebook users are sharing those articles.
