Facebook looking to redesign Nearby Friends feature to enhance engagement

Facebook confirmed it is now testing a redesign of the Nearby Friends feature that includes new visuals, which are strikingly similar to Snapchat's Snap Map. Even though the new look for Nearby Friends is tested internally, we can't say for sure what the final form of the feature will look like.

We’re testing a new design for Nearby Friends, a tool people have used for the past four years to meet with their friends in person. People have complete control over whether to use Nearby Friends or not. They can turn it on in the Nearby Friends bookmark.
