More than a social media platform

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning and glare at your bright phone? For many, it’s checking Facebook to see what’s new in the world at large or the world of their friends. It’s second nature, but are there features you don’t know about? Have you figured out how to use Facebook’s “snooze” button on your post-happy friend from college yet?

Facebook, the social media powerhouse, has been around since 2004. If you think all the way back to that mid-2000s era, I’m sure you’ll be impressed (or horrified) by your own personal growth. Facebook has grown too, finding new ways to help, connect, and entertain you. The platform has secret hacks, hidden gems, and surprising tools at your fingertips to get you the most out of your online experience. That is, of course, as long as you avoid these tempting Facebook scams that everyone keeps falling for.
