What changes to its news feed will Facebook unveil at its press event Thursday at its headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.? According to a Facebook employee, a social advertising industry source, and developers who spoke with TechCrunch, the big announcement involves new ways for users to filter their news feeds.

TechCrunch also speculated that larger images and image-based ads are coming to both the desktop and mobile news feeds.

According to TechCrunch, the new news feed design Facebook will introduce Thursday will allow users to toggle between different content-specific feeds via buttons located at the top of the news feed, below the search box, but this likely applies only to the desktop news feed initially.

TechCrunch reported that these dedicated feeds will include photos, made up of images uploaded to both Facebook and Instagram, which will likely include the option to browse in full-screen mode.
