Facebook is testing a new feature for desktop and mobile, Save for Later, which will let you add stories to a Saved folder. Saving stories will provide a similar experience to adding a tweet to your Favorites on Twitter.
The folder lives under Apps in Facebook’s iOS and desktop versions. To save a story, hold your finger down on the feature and a pop-up saying “Save” will appear. On Facebook desktop, the Save option will be under stories next to Share, Comment and Like.
“We are testing the ability to save news feed stories with a small percentage of users,” the company told Mashable.
According to iMore, your friends won’t receive a notification when you save their stories, distinguishing the new Facebook feature from Twitter’s Favorites.
As we’ve learned from other recent features Facebook has tested, such as “Find Friends Nearby,” rolling a feature out for a few members is by no means a guarantee of universal adoption. Facebook pulled that feature just one day after it began testing.
As of Tuesday, the feature is available to just a few iPhone, iPad and desktop users. Has the feature appeared for you yet? iMore says you won’t need to update your apps for Save for Later to appear.
Does this sound like a useful you would use? Let us know if you think Facebook is on to a great improvement.
