People go to News Feed to catch up on what friends are posting at certain times of the day, like a best friend’s engagement or pictures from a university reunion.

But many users want a place to see and share the smaller updates that are a part of their day.

The Facebook sidebar is used by millions of people daily to quickly find and contact friends and loved ones while on the go with their mobile.

Now, you can visit the sidebar to get a quick look at what your friends are currently doing.

Facebook has developed a new feature on the sidebar which will show the most recent updates from your friends.

You can now quickly have a glance of your friends updates by flicking to the sidebar.

This feature is being launched today to a select few countries in the APAC region including Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Set your own sidebar status by adding what you’re up to, where you are and choose an icon to let your friends know what you’re currently doing.

Your privacy will also be protected as your sidebar status won’t be seen in News Feed.

You can instead choose who you would like to see it.
