Facebook Helps To Plan Your Vote With Facebook Voting Guide

On November 8, the United States of America will vote for the next president, as well as a couple of other races. Apart from other years, the ballot on November 8, will be slightly different in every state of the country, and even many of the cities across the country. Google has already put out information on ballots for each section of the United States, where we can search and try to see what we vote for. Now Facebook is doing something similar with their newly introduced voting guide. The Facebook Voting Guide not only shows what races you'll be voting on, but also shows where the candidates stand on the issues.

If you have not paid attention to the latest political events, You'll also be able to see the records that the candidate has received, and there is a link to their recent posts on Facebook and their website. Actually, it gives you all the details you may need to make an informed decision on who will get your vote.

What is interesting in this vote guide is that you can "Favorite" everyone you plan to vote, then email the results to yourself to take with you to the polls on November 8. Apart from all this the main thing to keep in mind is that when you go to vote, just make sure you vote.

Facebook Website Down For Some Users

Facebook website seems to be down. The site does not appear to load for many of the users, instead, only a blank page is being seen.

The official Facebook app does not to have any problem, and works well. The problem seems to focus most people in the UK and Europe, according to the rules Detector website.

"Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes," the message reads. "In the meantime, read more about why you're seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site.'

This is the message being shown to some users who visits from outside the Facebook app.

Facebook Messenger Now Supports Multi-Account

If you run multiple accounts on Facebook, you will feel like an overwhelming task to try to control all communications going in and out. More commonly, however, the families that all share the same device throughout the day. If everyone in the household using a common tablet, it is usually necessary (annoyingly) to sign in and out of a group of Facebook account whenever you want to talk to your friends on Facebook specific.

Facebook has been testing the feature for multiple Messenger account for a while ', and the company now distributes the function of the official app for its first mobile Android, because it is not clear when users can (or if) iOS have the characteristic.

"All over the world, hundreds of millions of people share their phones and tablets with members of their family and friends. At Messenger, we want to make communication simpler, more seamless and secure, so we are happy that we have now launched a feature on Android that enables multiple people to log in and use Messenger from a single, shared device," Facebook's post reads.

"The beauty of this new feature is that messages remain strictly private. Anyone else who shares the device only see the number of notifications of messages you have, but they will never be able to view the content of messages."

Add multiple accounts to the Android version of Facebook Messenger is quite easy. All you have to do is pull up the application settings menu (within the same application) and try a new "Account" option. You can add all the different accounts that you want to use Messenger in there, but you will have to enter the password the first time that you switch to one of them. After that, you can choose to have Facebook Messenger remember the password for each account, assuming you trust your family will not mess with your conversations.

On the positive side, each account will receive notifications only for himself. So, if you are signed in to your account, you will not get any kind of notice if the brothers accounts are blown up with messages. They will have to take the device from your  hands and check themselves.

Facebook Message Requests To Replace Your Mobile Number

Facebook is planning to take over the place of SMS and mobile numbers completely. Facebook is now planning to make anyone around the world to message you even if they are not your friend - same like sms.For this the only thing a person will require is the other persons Facebook name. But to do so, the social network will kill a part of your Facebook inbox - a feature probably you never knew you had. Facebooks hardly known and rarely used "Other" inbox soon cease in favor of a new addition to Messenger called Message Requests.

If you do not know what is the “Other” inbox, log on to the top of the panel and facebook.com/messages steering on the left you will see the "Other" heading. There are messages from people who are not on your Facebook friends or Facebook pages. The idea behind the "Other" was to deliver messages-i.e. unauthorized messages from non-friends-without overloading your inbox. This was a less known feature in Facebook


Facebook hopes Message Request will fill a similar role to the Other inbox, but becomes much more useful. The big difference is that Message Request is being built for the apps on Android and iOS Facebook Messenger, not the desktop.

You can still find it on the desktop in the same place as it was Other, according to a screenshot obtained by TechCrunch, but first mobile message applications.

Messenger for Android and on iOS, Message Request appears as a folder on the top of your message queue. When you have a new message from a person who is not Facebook friend will be directed there, and you see unread counts when you have new messages.

When you get a request message you can see the name of the person who sent the message, some basic profile information, and the message itself. If you respond to the person, their message is removed from the Requests folder to the message inbox regularly.

"We really wanted to make the place where Messenger you can find and connect privately with anyone who you need to reach them ... Now, the only thing you need to talk to almost anyone in the world , is just there Facebook name.

 The request message also encourages users to synchronize their mobile address books with Facebook. Even if you are not Facebook friends with someone, as long as they are in the phone's address book and Address Book are synchronized to the Facebook servers-Facebook messages from them will appear in your Messenger inbox.

This new feature has started to come out with new Facebook updates to the users worldwide.
