Android News: Facebook officially introduces dialer app, aptly named “Hello”


facebookhello

Facebook has just launched a new app for Android called “Hello” which essentially works as caller ID for your smartphone. This was said to be in the making for quite some time, but it’s good to see that the company has finally launched the app.

The app essentially tells you who’s calling, thanks to the myriad of numbers on their database. This is done by taking the users’ consent, so only those who wish their numbers to be shared with Facebook will have their names pop up when they call somebody.

The app is Android only for the time being with no word on whether iOS users will be able to get their hands on the app anytime soon.

Using Hello, you will be able to block unwanted callers and also learn who is on the other end. This is something that apps like Truecaller have already achieved, so it’s nothing new to the Android users.

But having the large numbers on their database courtesy of Facebook will certainly help in making Hello a popular app among Android users. Make sure you give the app a try from the link below.
