By the time June rolls around, Facebook users will find that five features of the social media platform will have been axed.
It comes as Meta, Facebook's parent company, confirmed a major overhaul of the social media giant, taking an axe to poorly performing items including background location, location history, weather alerts, podcasts and nearby friends - all of which will be unavailable after May 31.
The five services are being cut due to "low usage" after sending a notification to users who have previously used the services, The Mirror reports.

And just a year after they launched, podcasts will no longer be available on Facebook, as the company looks to develop other services, saying it will stop with its short-form audio product Soundbites and will also axe its central audio hub.
Facebook confirmed that information shared with the company for background location and location history will cease being collected at the end of this month though, according to the company's data policy, users will still have their data location collected for other services.
And if you wish to view or delete existing location history on Facebook, you'll have until August 1 to download and access your information before all existing history information is automatically deleted.
Facebook spokesperson Emil Vazquez told The Verge : "While we’re deprecating some location-based features on Facebook due to low usage, people can still use Location Services to manage how their location information is collected and used.”
Because of this change to location data, weather alerts will also be a thing of the past on Facebook, as will the 'Nearby Friends' feature.
When users turned on Nearby Friends, the feature turned on location history (and vice versa), which allowed users and their friends to share locations with each other.
