Facebook to Launch Standalone News App 'Notify' to Compete with Google and Apple
- 9 years ago
Facebook is getting ready to combat Google News and Apple News with its own standalone news app "Notify," which will be launched next week.
The social media giant has already struck deals with The Washington Post, Billboard, Vogue, CBS, and other media partners, according to a Financial Times report cited by The American Bazaar .
Unlike the Facebook's news feed, Notify will deliver news to users in a more organized way because only items from subscriptions will appear on the app feed.
Facebook currently has at least 1.55 billion monthly active users, 1.39 billion of which access the app on mobile.
As of now, details about Facebook's Notify news app are still scant, but it is expected to include digital and video news content.
