Abstract
A mobile device receives ranked news feed stories from a server of a social networking system. The mobile device determines whether to adjust the ranking based on local information generated by applications executing on the mobile device or hardware of the mobile device. Examples of local information of the mobile device include information describing the mobile devices' network connection, geographical location, sensor readings, downloaded data on memory storage, and interactions of software applications executing on the mobile device. For example, if a network co-processor of a mobile device detects a slow network connection, the mobile device lowers the ranking of news feed stories expected to require further use of network bandwidth.
