Fake news

That link title is click bait max.. I believe what did happen is, him advising people to android if they want to understand users better since majority of Facebook users are Android users. It wouldnt be wrong since many companies are focussed on improving experience overall than just focusing on American market which might have a larger ios market

You don’t need to use android to know about your “android” customers, you can just collect data and feedback

Parallon BlindFTW Nov 18, 2018

Not to 'know' but every device has a difference experience. https://youtu.be/URiIsrdplbo I think during this talk, Alex Schultz their vp of growth makes this reference about Android vs ios. And it makes sense.

Sad we're living in this age of sensational journalism

Citibank Slurpsurp Nov 18, 2018

FB built a revenue stream based on sensational (and fake) journalism. Only fitting they’re succumbing to it. Banks went through this in 2008. We profited off of BS loans and then collapsed. We had it coming. At least social networks won’t take down the world with them when they fail. I can simply go back to using the phone to call grandma

If it is true, it is a brilliant move. I'm not an Android fanboy, nor an iOS hater, and neither do I admire Zuckerberg. Developers and managers and execs sitting in Silicon Valley cannot empathize with a global audience that is predominantly on Android and modded versions of Android. Since the US growth has saturated for FB, the next phase of growth will come from markets that will almost never own iPhones. The point here is simple, Facebook has to find it's next growth wave, that wave comes from emerging markets that use Android, and you have to feel the pain of an Android user to build products that are relevant and user-centric.

fake news

fb just encourages all employees to use an android company phone, since most of fb users are android users. you can use whatever personal phone you like.

Apple cho Chang Nov 18, 2018

And even for the company phone, there’s a choice of android or iOS right?

Facebook pdhwjdkal Nov 18, 2018
