When Facebook introduced Facebook stories on its application last year, it was met with a very lukewarm reception. People did not take up to it like that had with Snapchat and Instagram stories. Facebook has wanted to remedy this and make its stories a popular feature and in order to do, it has brought about changes to its camera.
On the 15th of this month, Facebook made a number of changes to its camera which it hopes will attract a wider audience. Users can now go live from the Facebook camera, can put up full screened texts on coloured backgrounds and can shoot GIFs on it as well. The feature of going live on Facebook can be used with a popular feature of Facebook that allows users to use AR face filters.
