In the mid to late 2000s, Facebook's primary function was to stay connected with friends and family. However, as social media platforms continue to add new features and evolve, this core experience begins to get lost. Meta says that will change from now on, as it launches todayA new feature that will "recreate" the fun of classic Facebook.

Meta has redesigned the Friends tab on Facebook to focus on the "magic of friends." The page now only shows content from Facebook friends, with no recommendations or other distractions. This tab will display friends' posts, videos, birthdays, etc. and will continue to display your friend requests.

Until now, the Friends tab only showed your friend requests and people you might know.

The updated Friends tab is rolling out in the U.S. and Canada starting today, so you might not see it right away. The redesigned page appears to be a server-side change and doesn't require updating, but it doesn't hurt to install the latest version of the app. To access the tab, click on your profile picture in the lower right corner and select "Friends."

You can pin the Friends tab for easy access from the bottom navigation bar. To do this, click on your profile picture in the lower right corner and select Settings & Privacy → Settings → Tab Bar → Customize Bar.

Meta promises other classic Facebook features will be rolled out over the course of the year.
