Facebook has finally rolled out its news app Notify for iPhone users in the United States, featuring content from media partners such as Fox News, Washington Post and CBS.
The app allows user to share notifications directly from the lock screen and includes a broad selection of “stations” across different categories such as sports, fashion and breaking news.
The company’s app competes with Twitter’s recently launched service called Moments, which aims to provide a better way of curating and aggregating news content for users and help them follow live events.
Facebook has recently tied up with nine news publishers to launch “Instant Articles”, which publishes their content directly to the social network’s mobile news feeds.
Instant Articles are also soon going to have Indian news media content.
