Facebook goes back to the glory days with Friends tab

Facebook has added the Friends tab for people to only see content from their friends and family.

Tired of seeing Facebook posts from people you don’t follow taking precedence over posts from people in your friends list on your home feed? Facebook is making it easier to see what your friends and family are up to with the new Friends tab on the Facebook app.

Meta announced in a blog post Thursday that Facebook users in the U.S. and Canada can experience a feed comprising only of content from their friends in the Friends tab. The company said the new tab is part of a series of “OG” Facebook features that it will be adding to the social media platform throughout the year, taking Facebook back to the 2000s.

The Friends tab is located in the tab bar on the bottom of your Home feed. There, you’ll see your friends’ posts, stories, and videos (or Reels). Additionally, you’ll also see a list of recent birthdays, friend requests, and a banner of people you may know.

If you don’t see the Friends tab on the bottom of your screen, you can customize your tab bar to pin it on there. Just tap on your profile picture in the Home feed. Then go to Settings & Privacy, Settings, and Tab bar. Finally, choose the to pin the Friends tab. You can do the same thing by pressing down the tab bar and tapping Customize your tab bar.

The Friends tab is similar to what Meta did for Threads shortly after it launched in 2o23, adding a Following tab to allow users to see posts only from people they follow instead of those they don’t. X, formerly Twitter, added the same feature to keep feeds organized for its users. However, Facebook’s added the Friends tab is to make the platform operate in a way Mark Zuckerberg originally intended — a place for people to connect with their friends and family.

Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.

The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.

Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.

Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.

Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.

I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
