After the roll-out of reply-to-comment feature, the social network giant Facebook reportedly testing a new feature ā€œPost on your Timelineā€ button on its blue navigation bar at the top of all its pages.
Facebook is testing a new button in its top blue bar on the left of name in the top-right corner that allows users to post a status or a photo/video quickly, from any page on the site.
First spotted by Mashable reporter Alex Fitzpatrick on yesterday morning, here are some screenshots of the test:

When you click on the button it will prompt you to ā€œ What’s on your mind ā€ status box. You can also add photos or videos through that window.

Post on your Timeline- New feature on Facebook

It’s important to note that the user who got the feature obviously doesn’t have Facebook Graph Search or the new look news feed – two new features that Facebook is rolling out very slowly.
Most recently, Facebook changed the name of its ā€œSubscribeā€ button to ā€œFollowā€ and also renamed subscribers to followers. This tweak came after Facebook built its own button similar to Twitter’s Follow button. (https://colorreflections.com/)
It’s looks like, Facebook and Twitter regularly grab features from each other as the two social networks continue to overlap in use cases.
