Facebook Launches App for Non-Smartphones
The site will be more accessible worldwide
Today, Facebook is officially launching its Facebook for Every Phone app, which promises to be compatible with 2,500 different “feature phones,” Inside Facebook reported. The app aims to give members with non-smartphone devices—many of them in developing countries—a similar experience to smartphone users, offering standard Facebook features like the News Feed and Inbox but also letting users upload photos and find friends from their phone contacts.
To make the app more affordable (especially for users in places where data plans run high), Facebook partnered with 20 international carriers to make data access to the app free for the first 90 days—hopefully long enough to get them hooked on the social network.
