The company has announced that it is abandoning three of its mobile applications. The first application on the log is Hello, which Facebook launched in 2015. The Android app only allowed people in Brazil, the United States and Nigeria to combine their Facebook information with the contact information of their phone .
An anonymous social media application for teens in the United States and that the company bought only last year. Finally – and most disappointing – Facebook is closing Moves. Moves was a popular fitness tracking app that showed users their daily calorie consumption based on the types of movements they were performing. The app also created a record of wherever a user went, allowing them to track their fitness history on a map.
Moves was launched in 2013, and Facebook acquired the application for an undisclosed amount in 2014. It was praised for its simple design user interface, as well as its accuracy. Apple has awarded the app its coveted "Editors Choice" rating.
Announcing the shuttering of applications, Facebook said:
We regularly review our applications to evaluate which ones value the most. This sometimes means closing an application and the APIs that accompany it. We know that some people still use these apps and will be disappointed – and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support. But we must prioritize our work so as not to disperse too much. And it is only through trial and error that we will create great social experiences for people.
