This is a timeline of Facebook.

Major trends

Userbase

Time period Key developments at Facebook
February 2004 – September 2006 Facebook gradually enlarges the set of people who are allowed to register, starting from Harvard University only in February 2004, then gradually expanding to more US universities, then moving to international student networks, and finally switching to open registration in September 2006: anybody who is at least 13 and has a valid email address can sign up.
September 2006 onward Even as Facebook's userbase keeps increasing, the eligibility requirements for Facebook remain largely the same. At some point, Facebook starts allowing people to register with either an email address or a mobile phone, thereby making it possible for people who do not have email addresses to register.

Product and accessibility

Time period Key developments at Facebook
2005 onward, but largely concentrated September 2006–September 2009 Facebook develops some of the core social infrastructure that would come to define the user experience for many years to come, starting with photos and the ability to tag friends in them (October and December 2005), Facebook's News Feed (September 2006), and then proceeding to Facebook Platform in May 2007, an attempt to get developers to create applications for use within Facebook. The ability to @-tag friends in posts and comments is introduced in September 2009.
Concentrated 2009–2011 Facebook works on becoming the "social layer" of the web, with the (now deprecated) name Facebook Connect, that allows Facebook's like buttons to be displayed on external websites, and also allows them to use Facebook for logins.
Concentrated 2012 onward, with some early moves in 2010 and 2011 Facebook shifts attention to mobile phones. At the low end of the market, this includes initiatives such as Facebook Zero and Facebook for SIM. At the high end, this includes development and improvement of iOS and Android apps, as well as initiatives such as Facebook Home and Facebook Paper (the latter, in January 2014, is the first product of Facebook Creative Labs, Facebook's in-house initiative for small teams to work on standalone mobile apps). Facebook also acquires a number of mobile-focused companies, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, and fails to acquire Snapchat. The company's vision evolves to being a family of interconnected apps rather than a single standalone product, and this vision is explicitly articulated at the 2015 F8 conference.[1]
Late 2011 onward Facebook reimagines some of its core infrastructure, replacing the profile and wall with the new Timeline, and replacing search with Facebook Graph Search. A plan to significantly redesign the News Feed, announced March 2013, is abandoned a few months later.
2013 onward Facebook moves more aggressively into Twitter territory: it launches support for hashtags and hashtag-based search, and also introduces trending topics.
2014 onward, picking up steam in 2015 and 2016 Facebook starts making a new set of changes to its news feed, driven by the Feed Quality Program. More so than previous sets of changes, new changes are based on extensive efforts to gather feedback, including in-person feedback from focus groups and more large-scale surveys. The changes include more explicit identification of hoaxes and the greater use of signals such as time spent viewing a piece of content in the feed and time spent reading the article off Facebook. Machine learning and AI techniques are also used increasingly in the service of improving feed quality.
2015 onward, with major rollout in early 2016 Facebook expands aggressively into live-streaming with the launch of Facebook Live.

Currently, the company's leading apps include its main app, Messenger, and externally built and acquired apps such as Instagram and WhatsApp.[1] Specific announcements include making Facebook Messenger more of a platform, a new real-time comments system, embeddable videos, spherical video, Parse for the Internet of Things, updates to ad exchange LiveRail, and analytics for apps.[207]

2015 April 22 Product Facebook launches an Android app called Hello to instantly matches phone numbers of incoming and outgoing calls to Facebook profiles to show information about the caller/callee, block calls from commonly blocked numbers, and search for businesses to call, with initial rollout in the United States, Brazil, and Nigeria. There is no corresponding iOS app, because iOS does not allow apps to interact with phone calls.[212][213][214] Commentators compare Facebook Hello to the native Android dialer app[215] and to TrueCaller, an app with crowdsourced data.[216]

Initial launch partners include BuzzFeed, the New York Times, National Geographic and six others. The article as displayed on Facebook mimics the article on the website in terms of layout, and Instant Articles allows for correct attribution and analytics with tools such as Google Analytics, Omniture, and Comscore, in addition to publishers benefiting from Facebook's own analytics. Publishers can choose to have only a subset of their content available as Instant Articles, and Facebook handles the porting of the article to the Instant Article format itself. BuzzFeed praised Facebook for complying with its requests for compatibility with analytics tracking, and said the process was very collaborative throughout. Load times are claimed to be ten times faster than the mobile web. Publishers can keep all the ad revenue if using their own ads, but Facebook gets a 30% cut if the ads are shown by Facebook.[220][221][222][223][224]

The feature allows people to use five additional reactions beyond just the "like" action to convey their reaction to a post. The new reactions are "love", "haha", "wow", "sad", and "anger" (another reaction, "yay", that was used in initial testing of the feature, has been removed).[251] Although the names differ across languages, the emoticons used are the same across languages.

2016 April 21 Product (news feed) Facebook announces that it is updating its news feed algorithm to take into account the time that a person spends reading the article, off Facebook (using various techniques to control for load time and article length). In the previous set of updates rolled out in June and July 2015, Facebook had started taking into account the time people spend viewing the item in their news feed, but the new change takes into account the user's activity outside Facebook. The change is part of Facebook's Feed Quality Program, and is a result of research showing that people's activity on Facebook failed to fully capture the extent to which they were interested in particular items.[260][261] Commentators believe that this is likely to lead to a significant reduction in the circulation of misleading clickbait on the social network.[262]
2016 April 27 and 28 Financial/legal, userbase Facebook releases its 2016 Q1 earnings report, showing an increase in earnings to 77 cents per share up from 42 cents per share a year ago.

2016 May Product, controversy Gizmodo publishes a series of articles about alleged problems with Facebook's Trending Topics section, including lack of integration of the Trending Topics team with Facebook's overall culture and workforce, discretion vested in that team to make decisions (including the ability to artificially inject content into Trending Topics even if it has not been trending so far), and potential for bias in the way the discretion is exercised, with a particular focus on bias against conservatism.[267][268][269] The controversy is picked up by other news media, the United States Senate Committee, and many conservative outlets.[270][271][272] Facebook defends itself against the allegations,[273] but also invites leading conservatives, including United States Republican presidential primary frontrunner Donald Trump, libertarian-leaning conservative commentator Glenn Beck (who is very impressed with Facebook's actions), and CNN commentator S. E. Cupp, for a meeting to discuss and address concerns.[274][275] On May 23, Facebook announces changes to its Trending Topics section, and releases a 28-page document on the subject.[276][277]

2016 August 11 Product (advertising) Facebook and AdBlock Plus enter into an escalating war. AdBlock Plus tries to block advertisements and sponsored content on Facebook's site, but Facebook releases a workaround, to which AdBlock Plus releases its own workaround. Facebook's argument is that ad blockers are a crude solution, and Facebook's approach of giving users more fine-grained control over the content they see in the feed is superior. AdBlock Plus disagrees with the assessment and says ad blockers should not be blamed for users' desire to have an ad-free experience.[290][291][292] The ad blocking war continues into September[293][294] and discussion continues into November, with Facebook reportedly having boosted its ad revenue owing to its blocking of ads.[295]
