Do you like the concept of Instant Articles on Facebook? Now you have a new reason to rejoice. Facebook is expanding Instant Articles and bringing it to Messenger.
Now links shared on messenger will open faster without the need to open a browser to read. It is good for those who use slow Internet connection. Instant articles save both data and time. So, users will get better reading experience.
Facebook will be rolling out this over the next several weeks. Once it is available to you, you will see a lightning bolt on the top right corner of some links shared in Messenger. It indicates that link is an Instant article.
Facebook introduced Instant Articles last year in May 2015. The concept is to host the web content on its own platform and serve it faster. Facebook claims that Instant Articles load 10 times faster than link shared on it. So, users get better reading experience and publishers get more readers.
Many publishers have already started using Facebook’s Instant article while many are still not using it just because of monetization confusion.
As a Facebook user, I really like the concept of Instant Articles. It is because I can easily read the content of a link without waiting for seconds to load. What do you think about Instant Articles
