9Facebook Hack and Tricks you Can Use

9 Facebook Hacks and Tricks Anyone Can Use

You can have a much better Facebook experience by employing a few simple tricks.

Think you've been on Facebook so long that you know all the ins and outs? Guess again. As Internet-savvy as you may feel, there are always little tips and tricks that you probably didn't know that will simply change your life. Here are 9 essential Facebook hacks you need but didn't even know you did.

1. Use Facebook without downloading the app

One of the most loathed aspects of the new Facebook app is that people are unable to use it without the app unnecessarily draining a bunch of your phone's battery. To avoid this, open Facebook in your mobile browser and press Add to Home Screen on an iPhone. It'll save the Facebook icon and load it like a normal app.

2. Send Facebook messages without the Messenger app

One of the most annoying things about opening Facebook app is that the entire messages section redirects to a download of the Messenger app. A way to avert this, however, is by beginning the download, then simply stopping it and returning to Facebook. The messages drop down should still be there.

3. Post by email

All accounts have a post-by-email address that can be used to post text or photos via email through this unique address. Find yours under Settings, in the Mobile section, and start sharing.

4. Disable the read receipts in messages

Some people are notoriously slow at responding to messages or simply want time to think before responding to something important another person may have said. Few people know, however, that there's

there is a way to disable these notifications.

5. Use emojis everywhere

Facebook actually allows all emojis to be shown as typed, as long as they were originally posted or sent in a message from the emoji keyboard on your phone or from a desktop extension on your computer.

6. Find friends near you

While a little creepy, Nearby Friends is an easy way of seeing if people happen to be around you, and, if so, give you the chance of potentially running into them. You can also share your location with your friends in situations where you'd rather have it tracked.

7. Use Facebook search wisely

Many people know that it's easy to search events, people, or businesses on Facebook. But next time, try something more specific, such as People who collect books in Brooklyn.Your oddly matching results will surprise you.

8. Search older posts by friends

Few people know that you can actually search your news feed for an old post by someone you can't remember. Throw in a look for who reposted that great chocolate video in order to pick up the recipe the second time around.

9. Facebook video and audio call

Surprisingly good quality and banned by very few WiFi networks Facebook calls are an easy way to talk to those you care about from all over the world.

1996-2017 VISUAL STORY OF GOOGLE SERPS

Over the past 20 years, Google has revolutionized how we source information, how we buy products, and how advertisers sell those products to us. And yet, one fact remains stubbornly true: the shop-front for brands on Google is still the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The original lists of static results, comprised of what we nostalgically term ‘10 blue links’, have evolved into multi-media, cross-device, highly-personalized interfaces that can even adapt as we speak to them. There are now images, GIFs, news articles, videos, and podcasts in SERPs, all powered by algorithms that grow evermore sophisticated through machine learning. Nonetheless, in the face of such change, it still matters where our website ranks on those all-important SERPs. The content of those results pages, however, is in constant flux, as a result of 20 years of innovations and new products. We experience this evolution iteratively and, while we can all appreciate that significant changes have taken place, it can be easy to lose sight of the wider context and acknowledge just how radical the overhaul of Google results has been. Google hasn’t always got it right along the way, but it has always been willing to put its failures aside and invest again in new initiatives. As such, we thought it a good time to take a step back and look at Google’s evolution over the past two decades, its many successes and its few notable failures, through the lens of the humble SERP.
