Facebook Events' Subscribe Button Notifies Users About Nearby Events

Facebook has rolled out a new Subscribe button in its Events section to notify users about the nearby events hosted by their favourite Pages.

The feature has been rolled out to Facebook's Web interface as well as mobile apps. Upon subscribing, users will get notified when the Pages they like host events near them, notes the Facebook Events page.

Just like the 'Like' button, the new events 'Subscribe' button will appear beneath all Page names on the Events section. With this, users will be notified about events from the subscribed brand/ musician/ page happening near them. The notifications will be similar to the ones users receive in case of invitation from a friend. Facebook will also provide suggestions to users to subscribe to events from artists and Pages that they have liked.

Last week, Facebook introduced a new feature called 'On This Day' to take you through those old memories that you may have forgotten, similar to its 'Look Back' and 'Year in Review' features.

The On This Day feature shows you posts, photos, videos shared by you or tagged by others from the same date in the past years, all on a single page, unlike the curated video format in Look Back but similar to the timeline format of Year in Review.

Facebook's new On This Day feature will be accessible on both desktop and mobile in the bookmarks menu, search, News Feed stories, and also on a dedicated page - https://www.facebook.com/onthisday.
