Anonymous message-sharing app Secret may be all about hiding your identity, but the network just added two new features that make it easier to view popular secrets and posts shared by your friends.
The company announced it was adding a Facebook login option to its iOS and Android apps. It's also launching Collections, which are curated streams of popular secrets about specific topics.

The addition of Facebook login will allow users to see more secrets from their friends while remaining completely anonymous, the company said. Previously, the app relied only on people stored in your device's contacts list to find friends.
"Our community members want more friend content in their stream, beyond simply the contacts from their phone," the company wrote in a post on Medium. "Facebook login gives any user the option to (completely anonymously) connect Secret to Facebook and populate your stream with Facebook friends."
Facebook login is rolling out to Secret's Android app Monday and will be coming to iOS later this week.
Secret is also expanding its web presence with Secret Collections, web-based digests that include a kind of "best of" stream of secrets collected around specific topics like dating, loss or work. Users can view collections on Secret's website or subscribe to individual topics to see collections surfaced in the Explore stream within the app.
The six-month-old startup also announced it closed a new $25 million round of funding with investments from Index Ventures, Redpoint Ventures and others.
