Facebook has achieved a new milestone! The company announced that its app – ‘Facebook for Everyphone’, launched in 2011 has crossed the 100 million mark. The fast and easy-to-use native app has successfully placed Facebook into the hands of the millions of people having limited access to Internet.
Facebook for Every Phone App
The app is capable of working on more than 3,000 different types of feature phones, simple in function. Highlight of the app is its design. Even simpler phone users can create a new account, find friends and access the most popular Facebook features, such as News Feed, Messenger and Photos. Moreover, it is optimized to use less data than other mobile sites, making it more affordable to try and use, regardless of the device.
The app is a comprehensive Facebook experience and feels more like a smartphone app. It includes Facebook’s most popular features, such as News Feed, Messenger and Photos, and provides a complete experience for first-time users, including the ability to create a new account and find friends. This experience is optimized to use less data than other Java apps and mobile sites, making it more affordable to try and use. We also have partnerships with mobile operators around the world to offer free or discounted data access to Facebook For Every Phone, reports Facebook Newsroom.
The Facebook For Every Phone is powered by technology created by Snaptu. Snaptu is an Israel-based mobile platform that was co-founded by the social media giant’s growth manager, Ran Makavy, in 2007. After its acquisition in 2011, the Snaptu team joined Facebook in California.
