Facebook gets reminders; learn how to create yours in chat

Facebook now allows the user to set reminders on the web version of the social network. The news was announced during F8, a Facebook conference for developers, and is being released gradually for everyone on the platform. You can schedule a reminder in conversations with friends or in groups and be reminded of an appointment. After setting up a reminder, an alert is sent 30 minutes earlier and also at the set time. Both for you and for your friend or group participants.
