MENLO PARK, Calif. – Facebook announced a new feature today. Users can now set reminders for events directly. This tool helps people remember important gatherings. It aims to reduce missed events.
The process is simple. People see an event on Facebook. They tap a new “Set Reminder” button. Facebook then sends a notification before the event starts. This happens automatically. Users choose the reminder time. Options include one hour before or one day before.
This feature works within the Facebook app. It uses existing event information. Users do not need to enter details again. The reminder links back to the event page. People can see event details quickly.
Facebook sees this as a helpful tool. Many people forget events they plan to attend. This feature provides a simple solution. It leverages the platform’s notification system. The goal is better user experience.
A Facebook spokesperson commented. “Life gets busy. People miss events they care about. This new reminder tool helps. It gives users a timely nudge. We want Facebook to help people connect in real life.”
The feature is rolling out now. It is available globally. Users need the latest Facebook mobile app. The web version will follow later. Updates happen automatically for most users.
