New Features to Paper App and a New Trending Section on Facebook

On Monday, Facebook unveiled their newest feature for their Paper App. This new feature gives the user the ability to find stories directly related to their interests much faster and easier than surfing through trending topics manually. It pulls all the trending stories to the readers attention by using hashtag searches as well as images.

Check out some of the other cool perks this update has below:

Users will also be able to tag or mention friends to let them know about the story, WebProNews reported.

“When you see beautiful photo stories you probably also want to know who's in the picture,” Facebook said. “Now if a photo includes tags, you can tap the actions arrow and then choose View Photo tags. You can even zoom in and tilt your phone to explore all the tags in a photo.”

The online social networking service said in a blog post that Paper 1.2 also lets user change their profile and cover shots from within the app, which is a feature that has been asked for by many users, PC Magazine reported. Users can make this change by tapping the current profile or cover photo, selecting a new image, and then cropping and resizing the image.

The app's privacy settings have also been updated. Users are now able to edit the audiences of their posts. For example, users can tap the name of the audience to change between sharing publicly or just with friends.

What do you think about that ability to change the audience when it comes to the privacy of posts shared through this new feature?
