The social network wrote in a post on its developer blog:

In 2011, we committed to a 90-day breaking-change policy, which provided developers with 90 or more days to update their applications. Today, we are excited to announce that we’re going to start bundling breaking changes on a quarterly basis.

In the past, a developer impacted by multiple breaking changes may have needed to update their apps each month.
