How to connect with new friends on Facebook
What's the story
Facebook's "Discover People" feature provides a handy tool for finding and connecting with new friends who share your interests or are attending the same events. This guide will show you how to use this feature on your Android device, from accessing it to updating your profile and exploring events or communities. By following these steps, you can grow your social circle and discover meaningful connections.
Access guide
Accessing the feature made easy
Open the Facebook app on your Android device and tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right. Scroll down until you see "Discover People," listed along with Friends, Events, and Saved. This feature is your secret handshake to new buddies who like the same stuff or go to the same events.
Profile update
Make your profile stand out
When you first navigate to the Discover People section, Facebook will ask you to spruce up your profile. This is important because it's your chance to make a great first impression and show people what you're all about. Use this opportunity to write a fun bio and add featured photos that showcase your personality. A well-crafted profile will attract more like-minded friends!
Exploring connections
Discovering events and communities
Discover upcoming events you're interested in by scrolling beneath your profile update section. These are labeled "People going to..." followed by the event's name. Tapping one reveals profiles of fellow attendees, allowing you to connect before the event. Additionally, access lists of local residents or coworkers at the bottom of the screen for further connections.
