one of the crucial greatest draws of the new Apple Watch used to be the regular connectivity to peers, highlighted by using social media apps. whereas Twitter and Instagram Apple Watch apps show nice promise, one app is noticeably lacking: facebook.

throughout the preliminary press conference in March, Apple CEO Tim prepare dinner showed an instance of facebook and stated that “that you could hook up with social media”. So, where is that this fb app that offers customers the connection? We reached out to fb on the lookout for an update and a fb spokesperson gave the next statement:

“We’re excited for the launch of the Apple Watch. we have now nothing to announce today, but we’re all the time evaluating new platforms to build the best facebook expertise for folks.”

So facebook has been prominently displayed all through the preliminary product pitch, created an app for its own Instagram platform — but is evaluating?

whereas the facebook app doesn’t exist users can nonetheless get knowledge from the community. Danny Sullivan brought up in his Apple Watch social app reviews that customers can currently get fb notifications (along with Google+ and Pinterest) on the Apple Watch. This notification is a precise duplicate as the instance shown via cook last month. facebook apple watch notification

possibly there wasn’t ever an app deliberate – that notifications are sufficient on their very own, although that’s doubtful. All we know for sure is that fb is “evaluating” the platform.

We reached out to Pinterest, some other social app particularly lacking on Apple Watch, to peer if there was once an app within the works. A Pinterest spokesperson proven that they are “continuing to work with Apple to create a really perfect experience that uses the brand new capabilities of the Apple Watch” but have no particular timing for launch in the mean time.
