The next feature being tested by Facebook is “Share to your Story”, which will let you share someone else’s Story as your Story. The feature is kind of similar to the feature letting you a share someone’s Story you are tagged in, on Instagram.

Another feature being tested is a label on Facebook posts that says “ Read By Your Friends”, which indicates that an article shared by a Page that you and your friend like is read by your friend.

Facebook has been attempting to turn a corner with the younger generation, who are seen flocking to various platforms including Facebook owned Instagram, Snapchat, and now TikTok.
