Facebook Study - App Rewarding Users for Usage

Buzz

Facebook is set to launch Facebook Study, an app rewarding users for their engagement by tracking how users use mobile applications on their devices.

The new Facebook Study

app will track which apps are installed on users' phones, the time they spend using each app, the country they live in, and additional app data that may reveal specific features users are engaging with.

The social media giant states they will not collect any specific content including messages, passwords, and websites users have visited.

Study Launches Shortly After Controversial Facebook Research App Shutdown

The release of the Study app underscores Facebook's continued need for data on how users utilize their mobile devices.

This new app is only available to users 18 years and older and will be exclusive to the Android platform, featuring a series of screens describing the types of data the app collects and how that data is utilized.

User age is verified by cross-referencing the age on their Facebook account. Additionally, participants are required to have a PayPal account for payments and must be at least 18 years old. Learn how to create a PayPal account here.

Facebook Announces Plans to Reference Various User Data Without Targeted Advertisements

A Facebook spokesperson declined to disclose the amount to be paid to app users. It is only known that the app will launch in the US and India, and not all users will be eligible to participate. For the latest updates, please follow the tech news page on Mytour.
