Facebook Overhauled Its Life Events Feature

A dedicated section is being added to users’ Timelines

Facebook revealed a thorough revamp of its life events feature, which enables people to easily share important milestones with friends and family.

The redesign will be introduced globally over the coming days on iOS, Android and desktop.

Animated photos and videos can now be added to life events posts, and people can also browse art from Facebook to include in their posts.

Photos from people or pages tagged in life events posts can also be added, with product manager David Harris offering as examples partners in new relationships, schools or workplaces.
