Facebook to reportedly launch ‘Notify’ news app next week

Facebook is said to be taking on the likes of Apple’s News app with its own standalone news app next week. According to the Financial Times, Apple will be launching an app called Notify and they’ve partnered with the likes of CBS, The Washington Post, Comedy Central, CNN, and Vogue. Unlike other news apps, Notify will reportedly notify users when new stories develop instead of users having to go to the app to discover content. Facebook has been developing experiences and features to help bring news and media easier to its users, like Instant Articles. We have to wait and see if there’s any truth to the rumours and how this app would fare if it were to be unveiled in the coming week.
