Facebook users sweeping changes are coming for you in the coming weeks as the social media network is making changes to its newsfeed.

It says this will reduce the amount of time people spend on the site and that it has contributed to a decline in users in the US and Canada.

Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg says the changes, which include showing fewer viral videos had already reduced time spent on Facebook by about 5% or roughly 50 million hours a day.

The changes to the news feed will see more posts, photos and videos from your friends and family which means less content from businesses, brands and fewer news articles.
