Facebook Releases Paper App – A New Way To View Your News Feed
Posted by Victor Nneji on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 · Leave a Comment
Facebook recently released its new Paper app which isn’t another social network like you thought, but is a new way to view your Facebook news feed.
Paper allows you to navigate through your news feed item-by-item with the swipe of a finger. Images appear full-screen with accompanying captions and you can pan from left to right simply by tilting your device. To put things in a better context, the app poses as a radical change in how users view status updates, photographs and videos posted by friends.
Videos in your news feed also appear in full-screen and play with captions overlaid in a similar way to images. At the bottom of each page are “like”, “comment” and “share” icons.
In all, the app takes away all the clutter that comes with Facebook (That clutter which also includes the ability to view events) and just gives you those features you use most of the time and can possibly drive some users to never open the Facebook app ever again.
