The Facebook App Center that has been already posted here has now gone live. Currently, it is only available on the web version of Facebook but it should soon arrive on iOS and Android as well.
The app center will house all the web app apps and games that you currently play on Facebook in one place and also add mobile apps to the mix. However, unlike other mobile app stores of their respective platforms.
What his means is that now if you click on Instagram on the App Center and click ‘Send to Mobile’, you will get a notification on your iOS or Android device (assuming you have the Facebook mobile app installed). Clicking the notification launches the mobile app and from there you are directed to the App Store or the Play Store respectively, if you already have Instagram on your phone, it will simply launch the app instead of taking you to the store.
As for the web apps and games, it’s the same as before. The app/game will launch in our browser and from there you can interact with it just as you did before. With the launch of the App Center, you will also be able to access paid apps which will you could’t do before.
Currently, the list of total apps and games available stands at a lowly 600. The app that you see are suggested based on your and your friend’ activity in the past. The App Center won’t be competing against the likes of the App Store and Play Store but would rather be directing users to them.
The App Center has started rolling out and should be available in most regions by now.
