Facebook on Friday released a mobile app for finding local happenings to enjoy with friends.
The Events app tailored for iPhones (not available in India yet) hit Apple's App Store, with a version "coming soon" for smartphones powered by Google-backed Android software, Facebook product manager Aditya Koolwal said in an online post.
Events is a stand-alone spin on a section at the leading online social network that lets people share plans for concerts, poetry slams, plays or other types of events they are interested in attending.
"When you open Events, you can quickly catch up on new events your friends are interested in, recently-announced events by the Pages you like, and updates from events you're already connected to," Koolwal said.
More than 100 million people daily use Facebook's events section to discover activities they can take part in with friends, according to Koolwal.
