I've noticed a decrease in shares from countries whose first language is not English. I've also noticed Facebook apparently changed the way content is shared by websites opened in their in-app browser.
It would work like this: press a share button and publish on the next screen, content is then shared. This hasn't changed when you share through the app itself, although they did, however, make it much harder to share this way by hiding the share button and replacing it with an icon. This has been rolled out over the past few months to almost all android users.
Now, when you press a share button, you go to a create post page with a share button that when pressed, you can choose between sharing to your news feed or stories (which I find kind of pointless). The problem? "SHARE" is shown for all languages and seems to be confusing people who don't speak English. This seems to be new and still rolling out, but is anyone else seeing this? I've checked from a few different devices and asked non-English speaking friends, we're all seeing the same thing.
Just another step by Facebook to keep all content within?
