Facebook Extends Instant Articles to All Android Users

Facebook announced that its Instant Articles feature is now available to all Android users globally, adding that its publications roster now totals more than 350.

Product manager Michael Reckhow announced the Android launch in a Facebook Media blog post, writing:

We’re excited to announce that everyone who uses the Facebook for Android app can now read thousands of Instant Articles every day in News Feed from publishers worldwide. Combined with our recent launch of Instant Articles to everyone on Facebook for iPhone, publishers can now deliver fast and immersive reading experiences to hundreds of millions of people daily across the two most popular mobile platforms in the world.

We’ve been beta-testing Instant Articles for Android with a small group of people on Facebook for several weeks, and as we saw on iPhone, the faster, richer reading experience inspires people on Android to share Instant Articles with their friends more often than they do with standard Web articles.

Reckhow also provided a complete list of Instant Articles publishing partners:
