iOS Update Simplifies Facebook Events Even More

Want to keep up with what is going on in your area? The new update for iOS has that covered for you. While it is great to be invited to excited events, the following notifications can be troublesome, bugging you after every few minutes. This is why the new update launched by Facebook for iOS has streamlined the invitations for the events of your choice, minus the hassle of inconveniences. Since Facebook already knows where you live, things that you like and the people that you hang out with, it is easier for the social media giant to predict what you should be doing tonight. The party invitation discovery may have happened accidently for Facebook. However, the company has decided to take it to the next level by presenting its users with an all-knowing view of the events landscape, reports Sigma Live.

According to the latest update, the users will be able to surf specific events suitable for tonight rather than unsystematic dates. You can also surf the events of your choice as per your convenience. Another interesting feature is 'suggested for you' that is compiled on the basis of your personal preferences and the data available with Facebook. The categories in this section include F&B, Music, Nightlife, Performing Arts etc. You can sort these listings based on date so that you can be there on time, as reported by the Times Gazette.

The 450 million active users on Facebook will benefit greatly from this update as it will allow people to spend more time in real social interactions than being online. However, to make this upgrade ideal, Facebook will have to find a way to prioritize their RSVP-to-Invite ratio so that the spam events can be eliminated, said Tampa Bay Review.
