Facebook has announced an upcoming update to the way photos are presented in user News Feeds. More space will be devoted to images, displaying them more prominently on the page. This is the second redesign that focuses on bigger pictures since July last year. The result of the redesign is not too dissimilar to the gallery view in Google+. In addition, the News Feed can be filtered to view only photo-based updates. The company says it is rolling the changes out in the coming weeks to both desktop and mobile version.

Facebook pushes photo prominence in timeline

Facebook has updated the way photos are presented in the timeline section of users’ profiles – devoting more page space to the images and making it easier to give some images prominence. The result is an awful lot like the Google+ gallery view, and the Flickr interface for viewing contacts’ images but appears to crop all images to square format. The Facebook update gives the ability to ‘highlight’ specific images (making them four times larger) but doesn’t just present your own images – images with you tagged in them will be intermingled with your own shots, so it’s not an optimal way to showcase your photography, unless you ruthlessly de-tag yourself from other peoples’ photos.
