Introducing New Mobile Ads for Apps

Today we're announcing a new way for mobile app developers to grow their business with an ad unit that helps them reach and reengage their users.

We're beginning to test the ad unit with a limited set of beta partners. If you are interested in participating in the beta program, you can sign-up here.

Driving installs to mobile apps

Facebook has increasingly become a way for iOS and Android developers to grow their apps. In the past 30 days, we have sent people to the Apple App Store and Google Play 146 million times, via clicks from channels such as news feed, timeline, bookmarks and App Center.
