Friends Tab
Facebook is introducing a new Friends Tab that will only show posts from a user’s friends and family.
The update comes as users express frustration with an overload of ads and creator content.
In a bid to regain trust, platforms are reviving their old-school appeal and making social media social again.

Indigenous Maps
Apple Maps will now display the names and borders of over 250 Indigenous lands in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
The update stems from a four-year collaboration with Indigenous communities, and will include cultural anecdotes about each location.
The integration reframes Indigenous places not as relics of the past, but as a living culture that holds significance today.
