Facebook has created a messaging app for couples


Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures! Facebook has, without much publicity, released a new app for couples. The multimedia messaging system, named Tuned, has been designed to help significant others communicate.

Currently, the application can be downloaded by those living in the US and in Canada. It was developed and launched by the firm’s New Product Experimentation (NPE) team. This means that if it is not successful, the app will be quickly removed from the market. During a period when couples are being forced to be in the house on a 24-hour basis, this mobile app might be helpful in allowing them to communicate better to avoid conflicts. Moreover, it can be even more interesting for partners who do not live together and are having to rely on digital tools to remain connected to their loved ones.

While it is essentially a messaging system, Tuned is more focused on pushing updates and stickers to a singular person and its feed is described as having a ‘scrapbook’ style. The app can be integrated with Spotify so that songs can be shared and widgets can be used to demonstrate what one is doing or feeling. Experts have advanced that one of its most interesting features is “the sheer lack of Facebook tie-ins”.
