If you could ask Mark Zuckerberg any question, what would you ask?

In a post published Thursday, Zuckerberg promised to get through as many questions as possible during the one hour he’s setting aside for the event, so you’d better come up with something pretty darn special to have yours stand out among the avalanche of incoming inquiries.

According to the Facebook founder, the company holds a Q&A session at its Menlo Park HQ every Friday where employees can ask him “anything they want.” He describes the event as “an important part of Facebook’s culture,” and so wants to offer the same opportunity to the site’s 1.35 billion users.

Writing about the company’s regular Q&A session in a post on his site, Zuckerberg said, “People ask thoughtful questions about why our company is going in certain directions, what I think about things happening in the world, and how we can continue improving our services for everyone. I learn a lot from these Q&As, and the questions people ask help us build better services.”

If you there’s nothing you want to ask, you can still contribute by visiting the event’s page and hitting ‘Like’ for your favorite questions, with the popular ones having the best chance of grabbing Zuckerberg’s attention.

Here’s a flavor of what’s on the minds of Facebook users, according to questions submitted so far:

– How will Artificial Intelligence or AI play into the future of social networks and infrastructure, like our roads and even health delivery systems?
– Where do you see Facebook 10 years from now?
– Which startup would you have founded, if you [hadn’t created] Facebook?
– Why are you forcing us to install Facebook Messenger?
– How many hours a day do you work?
– What does it feel like being a billionaire?
– Who is your celebrity crush?

And the one on everybody’s mind these days:
– How many instagrams are in a kilogram?

Zuckerberg’s first ever “community Q&A” takes place on Thursday at 2pm PT, and will be livestreamed on the same page where you can submit questions, which is here.

As of today, Facebook and IG creators have six new features they can use for their Reels content. But of the six, the most intriguing feature is support for a sticker prompt that was first used and popularized in Instagram Stories.

Meta announced via a Facebook video post that, in addition to all of its other new Reels-focused features, it would now offer support for its Add Yours sticker prompt in Reels for both Instagram and Facebook.

Facebook is testing a way to give its users more profiles per account, ostensibly to give users more opportunities for sharing posts and keeping up with the platform's content.

On Thursday, Bloomberg reported that Meta (Facebook's parent company) would begin experimenting with letting some Facebook users generate up to four other profiles in addition to their main account's profile.

Facebook’s first-ever smartwatch reportedly looks like this
Facebook's smartwatch, according to reports.

Facebook’s newly announced parent company, Meta, has reportedly been working on a wrist-worn wearable for much of this year, and a new image (below) claiming to show the device has appeared online.

Discovered in Facebook’s iPhone app for its Ray-Ban smart glasses and first published by Bloomberg, the image shows a design with rounded corners, a camera nestled in a notch, and control buttons on the side and top. The device, which Meta is yet to officially announce, appears to be more than just a fitness tracker and would therefore compete directly with the Apple Watch and other mainstream smartwatches.
