Facebook Gaming, Minus the Gaming, Debuts on iOS

The social network and Apple could not reach an agreement

The stand-alone Facebook Gaming application was finally released for iOS Friday, but it is missing one notable feature: the games.

The social network could not reach an agreement with Apple on the inclusion of Instant Games in the app.

Just as in the Android app, users can watch gaming videos from livestreamers, use the app to livestream their own games and connect with gaming groups on Facebook.

However, the two tech giants could not agree on a way to include the gaming in Facebook Gaming.
