Facebook could be testing a new calling app
Big tech companies know that to stay on top of the wave, they must constantly innovate to avoid being caught up by the competition . That's why companies like Facebook are always trying new things. Also, they usually do this by picking up a few users to have access to these features in advance and limited in order to polish any malfunctions before it reaches the general public.The problem is that, like all humans, sometimes mistakes are made and letting things escape that are not quite ready
This is what has happened again with the most crowded social network, and that has circulated a new rumor on the Internet, supposedly unintentionally. Apparently, Facebook would be testing a new application, although it is not known if ofcalls or as a mere dialer for the phone with advanced possibilities. The point is that the application would already be in testing and would be a reality according to the filtered image.
Rumors have appeared with said image, which has been published in media such as Android Police after several users came across a curious and incongruous function in this social network. It is a message as a notification or alert that informs about the application Phone (phone) of Facebook, talking about the possibilities it offers.Namely: information about who is calling and the option to block calls from blocked users.
This gives rise to the idea that it could be an application for own calls also through Facebook Although it wouldn't make much sense given its presence on Facebook Messenger Or, rather, a dialer application capable of keeping Facebook contacts at bay, offering information about their profiles and contact methods, in addition to allowing block them and manage them to avoid their calls. Of course, all this is only assumptions derived from said notification.
The only thing that remains clear is that Facebook is working on that application, possibly revealing its existence by mistake when testing new designs or functions in your application.And it is that the company is accustomed to introducing changes from the servers, and not only updating the application, so, from time to time, these kinds of errors occur leaks. In this case letting a few users see the notification about the application Phone.
Of course this notification has no value currently. And it is that, when clicking on the Install option, users are taken to a page with no output and error Something that is surely due to Phone is still in test mode internally at the company, with no public download link yet. At the moment Facebook has not confirmed its existence or made statements in this regard. We will still have to wait a little longer to see what this application consists of Phone or Telephone, the strongest bets being those that speak of a useful marker for contacts on the social network.
