Facebook has been testing a new feature that allows users to link their news subscriptions to their accounts so they don’t have to repeatedly log in while reading articles on Facebook.

The test, which has been ongoing since late last year, included publishers such as The Athletic, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Winnipeg Free Press. Notably, this feature supports article links to news outlets’ own websites, not just those hosted natively on Facebook’s app through Instant Articles.
