Last year, when it reopened its form for verification, it also teased changes to its website. There is a space for pronouns in the profile section. It has been almost a year since we first heard about the project, but reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi has found proof that the company is indeed developing the feature and may have started testing it. The section that lets you add whatever pronoun you want is yet to be rolled out.

It is high time for users to have the ability to do so. Facebook users have been able to choose their pronouns for years, though their options are limited to three. People on the photo sharing site can now display up to four pronouns next to their name. There is a dedicated space for pronouns in profiles on LinkedIn. Work-from- home arrangements took off after the Pandemic. The business messaging platform made the space for pronouns a default feature last year, while the video conferencing apps give users the option to show their pronouns next to their names in meetings. Previously, companies had to add the option as a field for their workers.

The launch date for the pronoun field is yet to be announced.
