Welcome Home
Introducing Facebook Home
The family of apps that puts your friends at the heart of your phone.
With Home, everything on your phone gets friendlier. From the moment you turn it on, you see a steady stream of friends’ posts and photos. Upfront notifications and quick access to your essentials mean you’ll never miss a moment. And you can keep chatting with friends, even when you’re using other apps.
It’s all part of Facebook Home—there’s no other phone, app or operating system like it.
Cover Feed
Just glance at your phone for the latest posts from friends.

Friends fill the screen
As soon as you turn on your phone or press the home button, you see a stream of posts from News Feed.
Cover feed puts the spotlight on whatever friends are sharing now—photos, status updates, links and more.
Get notifications where you need them
Notifications about calls, events, Facebook updates and other apps appear on your home screen and stick around until you need them.¹ Profile pictures and app icons make it easy to see what’s what. Tap the stuff you’re into, swipe away the stuff you’re not.
¹All notifications are available on the HTC First. The free Home download includes Facebook notifications.
Chat Heads & Messenger
Keep chatting, even when you’re using other apps.
Come over!
All your conversations in one spot
Send and receive texts and Facebook messages in one place. Profile pictures make your group chats and one-on-one time more personal.
Chat from anywhere on your phone
Jump in and out of conversations while you do other things, like watch videos or browse the web. Drag chat heads where you want them.
App Launcher
Get right to Facebook, Instagram and other essentials.
Choose what goes where
You start with a couple of screens: an app launcher with the essentials, and a list of all your apps. Drag your favorites to your app launcher so you can quickly get to what you need. Add more screens as you need them.
Drag your picture wherever you want to go
Move your profile picture to quickly get to all of the important stuff on your phone. Drag left to see your messages or start chatting with a friend. Drag up to open your app launcher or post to Facebook. And drag to the right to go back to whatever app you used last.
