Understanding App Use Cases

We’re continuing to expand use cases to make creating and customizing apps easier, unlocking more value for developers. App use cases enable developers to create apps quickly by allowing them to select the use case tailored to their goals. We launched the Facebook Login use case and have since expanded to gaming use cases. In the last year, we’ve learned from developers what is working and what can be improved to help developers in app creation and better set them up for success. Using those learnings, we are planning to launch many more use cases this coming year, including the upcoming Threads API use case.

What developers can expect when building an app use case:

Each use case bundles products, permissions and features, streamlining the app creation process and reducing complexity by ensuring developers obtain only what is required for a specific use case. Additionally, each use case is customizable and unlocks related use cases with enhanced functionality. As part of these improvements, developers will access a new app dashboard for more efficient app setup.

To offer guidance, we've crafted this video to provide insights into the experience. Since we are continuously improving the app creation process, some parts of the video may not exactly match the current experience.
