Which song fits your current vibe? Facebook wants to make conversations about music and more easier with new profile features unveiled during the Facebook IRL event during Austin City Limits earlier this month.

The social media giant turned Fair Market in Austin, Texas into a real-life Facebook account with different stations representing profile features, including a high-fidelity music lounge featuring albums from Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus and other recording stars. . The event also included live performances.

“Whatever you're into, there are people on Facebook who can help you find it and do more of it,” explained Facebook head Tom Alison during Facebook IRL. “Our vision is to make it easier to discover this content and these people. After all, that's what Facebook is for. We've been helping people explore their interests and discover new things for many years.”

“Facebook builds the best technology to help you discover the content and connections that are right for you,” he continued. “We've made significant investments in building state-of-the-art artificial intelligence systems that can serve the most interesting content to people around the world.”

New features include a Local tab, which collects content from Facebook Reels, Marketplace, Groups and Events, and Facebook Explore, allowing you to dive even deeper into your interests.

“It's personalized around your broad range of interests and lets you learn and do more with them,” Alison said of Facebook Local. “What's unique about Explore is that it provides recommendation algorithms that focus less on entertainment content and a little more on finding authentic and practical content that will be useful to you.”

Facebook Local is currently testing in Austin, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Phoenix and San Francisco.

Messenger Communities, another new feature, offers a new way for communities to “connect through shared interests and topic-based discussions,” according to the company.

Other new features include an upgraded full-screen video tab that gives reels a more prominent position, posts with AI comment summaries that you can read instead of scrolling through comments, and Matchmaker, a new Facebook Dating feature that you can set up to allow to your friends to “swipe for potential matches on your behalf”.

With Facebook's Weekly and Weekend Digest for Events feature, you can find the best concerts, music festivals and other events in your area and share them with your Facebook friends or groups “so you can find someone to go to,” he noted Alison.

The company also added music and reports to Notes in Messenger, and a new feature that lets you invite your Instagram followers to events you've created on Facebook — regardless of whether they have a Facebook account.

The new Facebook profile features were announced ahead of the October 15 launch of the Meta Quest S3 ($299). The Meta Quest S3 is available at major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the Meta store.
