Those Verified Facebook users with Android devices finally can take Facebook Mentions on the go, thanks to a new Facebook Mentions Android app. Mentions was launched by Facebook back in Summer of 2014 for iOS and until today Android users have been left out of the loop.
Others left out from Mentions? The general public. A blue badge is required as Mentions are currently for Verified users only. This however may change down the road. In the fall we saw Facebook open up a form where users could apply to become a verified user. Not verified yet? Apply as for your shot to become verified. As of last month, Pages can now apply as well, helping to open the gates for verified brands and companies.
Twitter’s Periscope is currently flourishing and we’ve seen Facebook begin to scramble over the past 6 months to catch up. This Android app is just another sign of how serious Facebook is on live video and is a space that brands and companies should be watching … even if not accessible yet.
For more info, see the Android app in Google Play.
