No longer will your Facebook notifications solely be
‘friends’ commenting on your old profile pictures to
cause you embarrassment.
The social media site is introducing steps to make it
more dynamic so it can defeat rival networks.
A Facebook spokesperson told Mashable: ‘We are
testing an updated notifications tab that adds
additional, relevant content about everything that
might be helpful to know on a particular day.’
Not only will you be told whose birthday it is, but
notifications will also allow you to see which friends
are nearby and what restaurants in your locality are
open for business.

you’ll see more stuff from your actual friends
Here is the list of eight sections the your
notifications will now include:
Birthdays – Your cousin, your second cousin
twice removed and that guy you met in Freshers
week.
Life Events – A list of events from your friends
that were published today, happened today or
happened recently.
Events – The usual suspects: house warming
parties, friends’ pub gigs and charity firewalking.
Nearby Places – Restaurants and bars in your
area. This will only work if location services is
turned on.
Trending Topics – Much like Twitter trends but
for Facebook.
News Shared Locally – Viral stories making the
rounds in your area.
Today in the Past – Showing status updates and
photos from you’re not-too-distant past. Cue
cringe.
Nearby Friends – This only works if you have
enabled the feature on your mobile.
