Hello friends,
Facebook has announced about a new software named as "Facebook Home" which is going to be available for download on 12th April from Google play store .Facebook Home makes the social network the hub of any smartphone running Google's Android operating system and aimed to make its the hub of people's mobile experiences.
The purpose of launching this software is to bring Facebook content right to the home screen, rather than requiring users to check apps. This app replaces Android’s standard interface with its own home screen and lock screen, allowing people to make handsets they already own into Facebook-centric phones.

According to CEO Mark Zuckerberg
Home isn't a phone or an operating system, and it's also more than just an appHome is a completely new experience that lets you see the world through people, not apps. Its new family of apps will let users display mobile versions of their news feed and messages prominently on the home screens of a wide range of devices based on Google's Android operating system..It is the part of Facebook's move to shift its users' focus from "apps and tasks" to people.
After downloading the software, instead of seeing a set of apps for email, maps and other services on the screen, users will be greeted with photos and updates from their Facebook feeds.
