F8 2018: Facebook鈥檚 top announcements - YouTube

Channel: The Verge

- Welcome to F8!
[2]
In 2016, we were slow to identify Russian interference.
[6]
We're doing more, we're requiring everyone
[9]
running political and issue ads or running large pages
[12]
to be verified with a government ID.
[14]
We're making ads more transparent.
[17]
By the end of this year, we will have 20,000 people
[21]
working on security and content review at Facebook.
[24]
We are focused on fighting fake news more broadly.
[27]
A lot of the work over the last and a half
[29]
has been bringing on more and more fact-checking
[32]
partners all around the world in different
[34]
countries who speak all of the different
[35]
languages that we need to cover.
[37]
I also want to talk about data privacy.
[42]
What happened with Cambridge Analytica
[44]
was a major breach of trust, so we need to
[47]
make sure that this never happens again.
[50]
We're taking a number of steps here.
[52]
First, as you all know, we're restricting the data
[56]
that developers will be able to request from people.
[58]
Second, we need to make sure we find
[61]
any other bad apps that are out there.
[64]
We're currently in the process of investigating
[67]
every single app that had access
[69]
to a large amount of people's information
[71]
before we made these big changes in 2014.
[73]
We're working on a simple control
[75]
where you can clear your browsing history,
[76]
what you've clicked on, the websites you visited, and so on.
[80]
We're gonna call it Clear History.
[81]
You're gonna be able to use this tool to see the information
[83]
about the apps and websites you've interacted with.
[85]
You'll be able to clear all this information
[87]
from your account, and you'll even be
[88]
able to turn it off, having this information
[91]
stored with your account going forward.
[93]
So, today we're announcing a new set
[95]
of features coming soon around dating.
[99]
It's gonna be for building real long-term
[102]
relationships, all right, not just hookups.
[104]
If you want, you can make a dating profile.
[107]
We've designed this with privacy
[108]
and safety in mind from the beginning.
[111]
You're only gonna be suggested
[112]
people who are not your friends.
[114]
- This is Jennifer, she's just moved to Chicago.
[118]
She's interested in dating, the first thing she
[121]
would do here is set up a dating profile.
[123]
Once she's done that, she can go browse events and groups.
[128]
This will let her see things in the city
[130]
and groups related to her interests,
[132]
and she can browse people who are there.
[134]
Say she wants to talk to Jay, she'll start a
[137]
conversation with a photo from his profile.
[139]
Then if he wants to respond, they'll do so
[142]
in a private messaging inbox connected to the profile.
[146]
- Now let's talk about Instagram.
[147]
We're announcing video chat in Instagram.
[151]
You're gonna be able to just tap on a new camera icon
[154]
right in the top of any direct thread
[156]
that you have and you're gonna be able
[158]
to video chat one-on-one or with groups.
[159]
You're gonna be able to minimize the video
[161]
while you're chatting and using Instagram.
[163]
- So, here I am in Instagram.
[165]
First, I'll swipe over to Direct because that's where I
[168]
already have conversations with my closest friends.
[171]
Now, let's say it's Saturday, and I'm trying to
[173]
figure out where we should go to brunch.
[175]
I tap this button to start a video chat,
[177]
and soon we're all able to hang out together.
[180]
Now, let's pretend I'm looking for some
[182]
inspiration for where we should go.
[186]
I tap this button, and soon, the video player is minimized.
[191]
I swipe on over to Feed, and at this point,
[194]
people can still see and hear me,
[195]
but don't worry, they can't see my screen.
[198]
Now, once I find somewhere I want to go,
[201]
I hit share, and then I send it back to the thread,
[203]
so my friends can give their input.
[206]
- Now, I can share a Sticker of whatever I'm listening
[208]
to directly to Instagram from my Spotify app.
[212]
Now anyone can also share their latest
[214]
GoPro footage directly to IG as well.
[218]
- Now Explore's organized into topic channels
[221]
based on your personal interests and tastes.
[223]
We're taking our commenting filtering technology
[225]
even further by launching a bullying filter
[228]
that hides language intended to harass or upset people.
[232]
- Now let's talk about WhatsApp.
[234]
We're announcing that we're bringing group
[236]
video calling to WhatsApp soon too.
[240]
- We're excited to share that group calling
[242]
is also coming to WhatsApp in the coming months ahead
[245]
where you can get together with friends and family
[247]
regardless of where you are in the world.
[250]
(audience cheering)
[253]
- The big news I have to share today
[255]
is Oculus Go is shipping today.
[258]
- Next is Oculus Venues, which is gonna be your ticket
[263]
to live social events in VR like concerts,
[267]
sports, comedy nights, and movie screenings.
[271]
You get to sit in this awesome VR amphitheater
[274]
with thousands of people and watch premium events
[278]
together like soccer live in a 180 degrees.
[283]
We have a great line up of live-event partners
[285]
coming to Oculus Venues, live concerts from AEG,
[289]
live games from the MLB and the NBA,
[293]
movie screenings from Lionsgate, plus comedy nights
[296]
and tons of entertainment from NextVR,
[300]
That's Oculus Go, for 199 you get
[305]
access to over 1000 apps and games.
[308]
We're also launching a version of Oculus Go
[310]
with double the storage memory, 64 gigabytes for 249.
[317]
- You know now, if you have some photos
[319]
from your childhood home, we can now use computer vision
[324]
to to fill in the gaps with this
[325]
pointillism effect and recreate the rooms
[329]
of your childhood home where you grew up.
[332]
So, you're gonna be able to go into VR with your family
[335]
and visit and feel like you are right there.
[337]
It's feels like you are in a dream, it is wild.
[342]
This work of mapping out immersive spaces
[346]
is just another important step on the path
[350]
to creating this real feeling of presence.
[354]
- First, let's talk about creating moments.
[356]
We're doing this with interactive 3-D posts on Facebook.
[360]
With one tap, you can bring a 3-D object
[364]
into Facebook camera using our AR technology.
[367]
This means you can grab a 3-D object
[369]
right out of Newsfeed and bring it straight
[372]
into your world, and it's launching next month.
[376]
Moving objects into VR takes this experience
[379]
to an even more immersive and meaningful level.
[382]
With a simple 360 photo of her kitchen and that 3-D mixer
[386]
object, the virtual Jen can give me a tour.
[391]
This Summer, we're rolling out 3-D photos.
[395]
You simply take a picture with your smartphone
[397]
and upload it to Facebook as a 3-D photo.
[400]
So, let's do this, let's keep building together.
[405]
There's never been a more important time for it.
[408]
