Facebook is shutting down its Paper newsreading app on July 29th

The Verge:

Facebook is shutting down Paper, a bold reimagining of the company’s flagship app for iOS that impressed critics but failed to attract a large audience, the company said today. The app transformed the core Facebook experience into a kind of newsreader, with customizable sections for politics, technology, food, and other subjects. Visitors to the app received a message saying the app would no longer function after July 29th.

This is a shame.

  1. Mine stopped updating after the public announcement post. I’ll probably just use the mobile site instead of re-installing the dodgy, battery-draining official app.

  2. Is it a shame though? How many countries was it available in? I know I have read about how nice the app was, but I have never seen it …

  3. Very annoying as now I might have to go back to either the shitty app, and add messenger as well. I really liked Paper. Though some of its UI could be a bit frustrating.
