Facebook app made for Android with "bugs" to test equality users

Facebook wanted to test the loyalty of its users on Android, and therefore "sabotaged" the app in the Google system to see if people would abandon him for not working right. The surprising thing is that people were willing to face the failure to continue using the social network.According to The Information, Facebook has made the app for Android just stop working for hours to see if people continue trying to use it. It is not clear how many users were included in the experiment, but, according to a source heard by The Information, "people never stopped to enter" in the social network, even defective.Instead of giving up to use Facebook, these users spent access it on the smartphone browser in place of conventional app. They preferred it to leave the social network.The idea behind the test would prepare the Facebook for a future without Google: Mark Zuckerberg want your users do not download apps from Google Play Store, but from a shop on Facebook, that would compete directly with Google .Feedback from users tested indicates that they would be willing to look for alternatives to access the social network for Android that were not available the app in the Play Store. The question is now whether they would be willing to install an alternative app store for that, or if they would be content to simply use the Facebook version for mobile browsers.Facebook declined to comment on the matter in the United States.
