There's a search tab too, which lets you filter events by time or location. An image-heavy carousel sits further down with suggestions, pulled presumably from your Likes, history and geographical whereabouts. Finally, there's a search box if you want to get specific. The calendar tab, accessible at the bottom, will give you an overview of everything you've signed up for. It's not a full calendar app -- but if you're struggling to keep up with your Facebook-related engagements, maybe this can help.

Events' utility is obvious. Facebook has a massive audience, one that's attracted almost every type of business and event organiser. That interest has led to a huge number of listings, which could appeal to an equally huge number of people online. Facebook's job is to pair the two groups together -- a simple challenge, you might think, but one that's grown harder as the platform's priorities have broadened. Video, livestreaming, friendship anniversary reminders -- it's easy for events to get lost amongst the rest of the social noise. A standalone app could bring them back to the fore.
