Facebook withdraws two of its apps
Not everything goes in the world of applications Something that many companies have had to learn, even the most famous ones. That is why Facebook has said goodbye to two of its applications through the App Store , eliminating them forever due to their low impact and perhaps, in part, to their controversial operation. Thus Facebook has finally ended the existence of Facebook Poke and Facebook CameraTools no longer available for download.
The application Facebook Poke was one of the clear attempts by the social network company to get closer to young audience that has eluded him so much in recent years. In addition, it was a clear reference to the intention of gaining a foothold in the market of messaging applications And it is that Poke imitated the operation of Snapchat, allowing the user to be in instant communication with other contacts and friends on the social network, but offering the characteristics ephemeral messages that end up disappearing after viewing.
However, this application is no longer available to users of the operating system iOS And, when searching for it through the App Store, the only platform that had this tool, no results are obtained anymore.Exactly the same thing that happens with Facebook Camera, a complete and useful tool to publish a group of images on the social network in a comfortable and simple way. An application that, however, has ended up being obsolete
And after its initial launch, it was surprising for its image selector, allowing you to publish photographs massive and saving the user a lot of time, little by little it has lost relevance by introducing all these issues directly into the official applications themselves for both Android as for iOS of the social network. As a result, it was relegated to a redundant Facebook function trapped in a separate application. An even less useful question with the fame of other tools such as Instagram which, although they do not allow mass publication on Facebook , yes, it is a more chosen option and related to the social network.
In this way, two applications from Facebook say goodbye forever. A goodbye that has not been celebrated in any way either, obtaining only the confirmation of a company spokesperson according to the specialized media The Verge However, it is hope this is not the first or the last time this happens on Facebook, even more so with a team focused on creating new applications and tools that may well find the perfect formula for a successful application, even if other services have to close down along the way. Something that, in any case, is always focused on users to satisfy their needs or create new content and useful and attractive tools. The price to pay for trial and error to achieve success.
And have you ever used Facebook Poke or Facebook Camera ? Do you have these applications installed on your device?
