Expectation from Group Hug Application

Group hug is hoped to function as an independent application. As earlier the Groups app worked within the main Facebook website and is quite popular too. The CEO Mark Zuckerberg looks forward to provide standalone offerings or applications in the future as well.

The applications like Mentions, Slingshot, Rooms and Paper were short-lived, as they had crashed and were not downloaded from the Apple’s App Store respectively. But Group Hug will surely be independent and its official launching is expected soon. Facebook will provision much refined data to its 1.35 million users throughout the world.

Presently, on the other hand, the Groups application is available on Android and iOS and it would be interesting to see how many of the current Facebook users will Group Hug application. This application will be a free-content ad platform and will pose a challenge to the rival application makers who had relied greatly on Facebook in its aggressive gameplay.
