Facebook Home has received a thumbs-down from a majority of the users, but Facebook is adding support for new devices as it hopes to get some positive feedback from new adapters. The service has now been extended to new flagship devices like the HTC one and the Samsung Galaxy S4.
However, Facebook has added ‘official’ support for Home only on the HTC One, while the support for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is still ‘unofficial’. Along with the two flagships, Facebook Home is now also available on the Sony Xperia ZL.
This comes soon after the social networking giant announced 1 million downloads for its latest offering, within a month of it’s launch. While the numbers themselves don’t look that bad, but the ratings that the launcher has received on the Play Store suggests that it has been a big failure, as it just gets a 2.2 star rating, which is considered below average.
Facebook home was restricted to just five devices at launch, HTC First, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but with the support for new devices being added, it looks like the launcher will be available on a large number of devices soon.
Coming to the Galaxy S4 and the Xperia ZL, the support for these devices is still unofficial, and when you install the launcher on these devices, you’ll get a message saying that Facebook Home is not yet supported on the device, but once you click on “Use Home Anyway”, the app runs without any issues.
There is no such problem with the HTC One, and the launcher works perfectly fine without showing any warning message.
