In line with its development strategy of maintaining the same experience for its own services in all regions, Facebook is not only promoting a one-hour internet speed experience on "2G Tuesdays" to allow internal employees to experience the Internet in areas with limited network bandwidth, but also plans to require internal employees to use Android phones in the near future to understand the actual operation of its own services on the Android platform.
According toWired reportFacebook's Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, recently announced that he will require internal development staff to use Android phones to understand how Facebook's services actually work on the platform. This, combined with the company's previously announced "2G Tuesdays" one-hour internet speed boost, aims to allow employees to gain a firsthand understanding of the actual experience of using its services in areas with limited bandwidth. This will allow employees to continuously optimize the Facebook platform and maintain a consistent user experience across all regions.
Although many Facebook services were first launched on the iOS platform, with the increasing popularity of Android-based smartphones in emerging markets, Facebook has begun to focus on the development of the Android platform and even shifted some of its development focus to emerging markets where internet broadband is relatively limited. With the widespread use of Android-based phones in emerging markets, Facebook expects to be able to promote its growth by connecting more people with the internet.Larger advertising market size, and derived from itVarious innovative technologies.
Despite rumors that Facebook is requiring internal employees to use Android phones, the company's development strategy will continue to prioritize iOS development and will not be entirely biased towards Android. The reason for requiring internal employees to use Android phones is that most employees prefer iPhones, which could lead to design discrepancies during development. Chris Cox hopes this internal executive order will help minimize the user experience differences between the two platforms.
