Facebook Changes Notification Icon To Match Your Location

When you logged into Facebook yesterday, you may have noticed something a bit different with the notification icon. TechinAsia reports that the world’s largest social network is now displaying different notification icons based on user location. For those of us here in Vietnam, this means you’ll now see Asia and Africa instead of North and South America.

Facebook told TechinAsia, “This is just one small example of how we’re always working to personalize people’s Facebook experience.”

The image above shows how the icons differ from their US-based and Japan-based VPN servers.

A new icon set has also been developed for European users but is seems like Australia wasn’t invited to the party.
