Facebook is bringing back the chronological feed so users can see updates from friends in the order they were published. 

The social network is rolling out a new tab called 'Feeds' for its iOS and Android apps, which shows the most recent posts from friends, groups and Pages. 

It's also renamed the Facebook app's primary tab – the first thing users see when they open the app – 'Home'.   

The Home tab will continue to order posts by 'relevance', based on its algorithm, along with personalised recommendations of who to follow. 

Facebook hopes that separating the news feed into Feeds and Home will help it better compete with its trendier rival TikTok. 

TikTok uses a fine-tuned algorithm to determine what people want to see based on prior activity – something Home is likely to become increasingly similar to.
