With this new discovery feature, iOS users will be able to see different events sorted in different categories, e.g., music, nightlife, food and drink, sports and fitness, etc.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This seems a very interesting and practical feature to have. However, as of now, the feature is only available for iOS users who are residing in the 10 major cities of United States.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the feature is only available to these cities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New York<\/li>\n<li>Houston<\/li>\n<li>Miami<\/li>\n<li>Seattle<\/li>\n<li>Dallas<\/li>\n<li>San Francisco<\/li>\n<li>Boston<\/li>\n<li>Washington, DC<\/li>\n<li>Chicago<\/li>\n<li>Los Angeles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is expected that more cities will be added to the list when the features rolls out to Android and other devices.

The social signals we have, the friends who are interested in going, the friends you can potentially go with \u2014 that is our bread and butter, we are going to try and take advantage of that as much as we possibly can as we roll out more discovery features.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The future of Facebook does look promising with it, doesn\u2019t it?
