Facebook is renaming the information feed that users use to check out what their friends and family are up to. The 15-year-old News Feed will now just be known as Feed.

The Verge says this is a major change for Facebook since the information Feed is one of the most heavily used features on its site.

But Facebook spokesperson Dami Oyefeso tells The Verge it is simply "a name change to better reflect the diverse content people see on their Feeds" and does not impact the user experience.

The Verge says that taking out the word "News" infers that even Facebook is aware that the quality of the "Feed" content to be found on its platform is questionable and not necessarily news.
