New Delhi: Facebook is reportedly testing a feature that will allow users to save links for later reading inside the social networking site, a report by AllThingsD suggests. The website has also published a screenshot (via MyTechSchool) of the social app with the said feature.
The app's feature set appears to be similar to that of other 'read it later' apps like Pocket, Readability and Instapaper.
The report notes that a bookmark icon would enable users to save the complete article and not just the Facebook post, and the activity is also added in the user's Profile Activity.
The new feature results in a new 'Saved' option that appears in the Facebook sidebar menu listing the saved links with 'Link Saved Time,' a thumbnail, link title, website name, meta description and the privacy type.
A recent survey showed that one in three Americans gets their news through Facebook. It's no wonder that the social network wants more people to read and share news on the site.
