And podcasts aren’t the only audio content that will be populating its new mobile hub: Live Audio Rooms, Facebook’s answer to Clubhouse, will also get a feature in the audio tab, as will Soundbites—the short-form audio product that Facebook has been peddling as of late in a bid to attract TikTok users to the platform.
According to TechCrunch, the new ‘Audio’ destination will leverage an algorithm much like the ones used by TikTok and Instagram, which will help users find content from both creators they follow and new ones made discoverable by a personalized recommendation system.
The hub will reportedly become more personalized to each individual user’s interests and preferences over time, basing its recommendations off of which audio selections you listen to and which types content you engage with the most.
