Facebook has introduced a new 'save it for later' feature that allows users to store interesting web links, pages, movies and music for a more convenient time.
The new 'Save' tool, which is rolling out to the web, iOS and Android apps, makes it easier to keep track of interesting News Feed content without it being lost in the shuffle after falling below the fold.
The Saved content, be it a checked-in restaurant the user may wish to try, or a shared album they want to hear, will be accessible via the 'More' tab on mobile and within the sidebar on the web.
The feature apes the functionality offered by apps like Pocket and the Reading List feature in Apple's Safari web browser.
Productivity boost
Such is the exponential growth of sharing web content on Facebook, the feature comes at a time when many users are struggling to keep up with everything posted by their friends.
While checking out interesting links over the lunchbreak can offer a welcome distraction from the grind, an all day presence on social media can be a productivity catastrophe.
The Save option will allow users to get a little work done, while promising the treat of excellent web content for the commute home, without the risk of being infiltrated by a trillion Buzzfeed posts.
