Facebook has introduced three new features aimed at enabling users greater control over their pages on the social networking site. These include archiving your information into a downloadable format; adding transparency to how your data is being used by apps; and a group feature that allow users to group friends by activity, interest, or any other criterion – basically build groups within the social network.
Download Your Information
- Facebook gathers all details you have entered on Facebook, including photos, wall posts and other information
- Compiles the details and transforms them into a .zip archive
- The .zip archive is downloadable and is provided to you on demand
- To protect your information, this feature is only available after confirming your password and answering appropriate security questions.
Apps dashboard

Facebook Group
- Group friends by interest, activity or any other criterion
- Each group gets a unique e-mail address. Anything sent to that address will automatically appear on the group’s wall.
- Enables group chats, communications via email
- Introduces document collaboration
