Facebook testing News Feed-only posts

Facebook Web

Facebook is testing a feature which will let users create posts that only show up in news feeds and search, and not in a user’s timeline.

Facebook said a user’s timeline on their profile is a great place to see a comprehensive history of their Facebook posts.

“We’ve heard feedback that sometimes you may want to share a post with friends and family via News Feed and not have that post be displayed on your timeline,” said Facebook.

“The ability to hide a post from your timeline already exists, and today we’re testing a feature that would make it even easier to control where your posts live.”
