Facebook is abandoning three of its applications, including the "teenager" tbh that was purchased by the company 8 months ago.
It is clear from a blog post that the applications "tbh", "Hello" and "Moves" will be closed because of "low consumption". Facebook will remove user data for these apps within 90 days, reported CNN.
Facebook said it would start checking photos and videos as part of the fight against false news and misinformation.

"We know that there are still people who still use these apps and who will be disappointed," the company said. "But we must prioritize our efforts so as not to spread too much," said the company, quoted by BGNES.
Facebook bought "tbh", which is an acronym for "being honest" for an undisclosed amount in October. The application gives a chance to create anonymous polls and positive reviews from friends. It was quite common among teenagers and had more than 5 million downloads in a few weeks.
After the agreement, the founders of "tbh" Nikita Beer, Eric Hazard, Kay Zaragoza and Nicholas Dukodon have moved to Facebook. And, according to a statement from the company, they will stay working on other products of the company.
By buying apps like "tbh", Facebook has tried different concepts to see who will be successful.
Meanwhile, the company released Hello on the market in 2015 first in the United States, then in Brazil and Nigeria. The application allows you to manage contacts on the social network and in the directory. The company said the application would be downloaded from the network "in a few weeks".
In 2014, Facebook bought the Move Fitness app, which follows activities such as walking and running. It will be suspended at the end of July.
The scandal with Facebook and Cambridge Analytics, and the subsequent hearing of Mark Zuckerberg in the Senate, sparked a collapse in the company's credibility.
