Everyone’s favorite social network Facebook has launched yet another useful, yet controversial, fture. This time around it’s called Find Friends Nrby and it allows you to find potential Facebook friends who are nr your current loion.
According to Facebook developer Ryan Patterson the app is designed to make it sier to friend people who you meet in rl life. “For me,” Ryan says, “the idl use case of this product is one where when you’re out with a group of people whom you’ve recently met and want to stay in contact with”. The Find Friends Nrby fture will let you quickly loe the person standing next to you among the millions of people with profiles on Facebook.
Anyone with an incredibly eric name can quickly understand the appl of this. For instance, telling someone to friend “Matt Smith” is nrly the same as telling them nothing. The immediacy of the new fture could be useful, as well, since you may not remember who you wanted to friend a few hours later when you sit down at your PC.
Critics have labeled this the “stalker app” but the fture is currently active only when you have the app open, so no one can find you if you aren’t also looking. And while the fture does let you send a friend request it does not provide detailed loion information about the people found.You should now be able to find this fture in the Other Apps section of your Facebook app on iOS and Android. If you do not see it, double-check that the app is updated to the latest version. The fture is also accessiblevia web browser.
