The Facebook Pages redesign is being launched for Indian users. It removes “likes” from Indian users and reduces the focus on followers. Facebook introduced the redesign as early as January, but is now rolling it out to Indian users.

Its layout is now simpler and more intuitive. Facebook Pages will also have a dedicated News Feed, allowing users to join conversations, follow trends, interact with peers and interact with fans. “This will make it easy to follow trends, interact with peers, and interact with fans. Special news feeds will also suggest new connections, such as other public figures, homepages, groups and homepages, or popular content that public figures care about,” the The company said in a statement.

The redesign will also help users discover and browse their profiles and pages. To improve security and integrity, Facebook noted that it has improved its ability to detect activities that are not allowed on the platform, including hate speech, violence, pornography or spam, and impersonation. Facebook has also expanded the visibility of verified badges to make it easier to identify posts and comments from real homepages and profiles. “A verified homepage comment on a public post on another homepage may appear higher in the comment section and be visible in the news feed,” Facebook pointed out. Facebook will also allow public figures to comment in the comments section. In addition, people can follow the homepage directly from comments and recommended posts.

The redesign will remove likes and focus on followers, and will simplify the way people connect with their favorite pages. People can therefore connect with their fans and build stronger connections with them. Earlier this year, Facebook and Instagram introduced features that let users hide likes in posts. Instagram will allow users to hide the likes of all posts, so followers will not be able to see how many likes a particular post has received. The social media company said that by hiding the number of likes, users can only focus on sharing photos and videos, not the number of likes they get.

Users on Instagram can not only hide their number of likes, but they can also choose not to see how many likes they have received. Users can hide posts in other people’s posts by visiting the new posts section in the settings. Pages will also get a text-based QandA format, which will help them support richer interactive conversations. The updated task-based management controls for Facebook pages will make page management more convenient, just as it enables administrators to access and assign permissions based on specific tasks. Now page administrators can gain full or different levels of access to manage specific tasks, including insights, advertising, content and community activities, and messages.
