Facebook has brought its new structured status update feature to its
mobile website, allowing users to post what they’re watching, reading,
eating, drinking, listening to or feeling from their phones.
When this feature was introduced in January and rolled out more
widely in April, it did not have a mobile component. Now from
m.facebook.com, however, users can make these kinds of posts, which
suggests that the product is likely coming soon to the native Android
and iOS apps.
Like on desktop, users can add their feelings or other activity by
clicking on the smiley face in the composer when they start a new post.
They’ll get a list of options: feeling, watching, reading, listening to,
drinking and eating. Tapping on one will lead to another screen with
common things people might be feeling or interacting with. Users can
also add their own.
The resulting update will include an emoticon to represent the user’s
feeling or tag the page associated with the user’s activity. The
feature helps Facebook collect valuable information about users’ offline
behavior while giving people new ways to express themselves and learn
about things through their friends. Brands and entertainment pages could
also get additional exposure when users tag them in these updates.
