Introduction of Facebook widgets
Facebook has launched a preview version of its widgets. Interested users can visit the Microsoft Store and download the Facebook app or update to the latest version of the app.
Then open the widget board and navigate to the widget selector by clicking the “+” button in the upper right corner of the board to pin your widget.
Microsoft also recommends that users submit feedback and comments. After you try this and other new widgets, you can let us know what you think via the widget feedback link in the widget selector.
As more developers create and publish widgets for their applications, you should see more new widgets.
