Facebook OS is coming
Facebook wants to reduce reliance on Google's Android operating system on its own hardware products. They are on their way to creating their own operating system. Facebook confirmed the information on Thursday.
A Facebook spokeswoman for the news agency AFP said Facebook had begun working on a project that could connect other organizations to their platform.
The technology website The Information first published the information. According to the report, Facebook is developing an operating system that allows them to integrate hardware and other services. They will be able to confirm the use and privacy of social media.
Andrew Bosworth, vice president of Facebook's hardware division, said the decision was made to try something new in the next generation. This will reduce Google's dependence on Facebook on Android. However, the Facebook app will be on the Android platform.
Along with Facebook, Facebook is working on creating a variety of platforms. Earlier, Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014 and Instagram in 2012. The company bought Oculus, the maker of virtual reality headgear, in 2014.
The name of Facebook's new operating system may be 'Facebook OS'. Facebook will initially use the operating system on their smart speakers and Oculus VR.
