Indian users will now see the App Center bookmark on the left side of their home page on Facebook.com and in the Facebook apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Facebook has launched its application centre — App Center in India and six other countries, a move that will help users to find games, music services and media content easily.
The social networking giant had launched the App Center in the U.S. last month.
“The App Center is now available to everyone in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K.,” Facebook software engineer Drew Hoskins said on the blog on Monday.
In addition, Facebook said that it will be launching App Center to users in Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey in the coming weeks.
The launch is part of a plan to expand its reach to a large number of Facebook users, with 80 per cent residing outside the U.S. and Canada.
The users can access new App Center icon located on the left side of the home page on Facebook.com recommending apps to users based on their interests. Additionally, the service is also available on Apple and Android mobile devices.
“App Center makes it easier for people around the world to discover the best apps and games for them, wherever they are,” Mr. Hoskins added.
People in India and other countries where the service has been launched will now see the App Center bookmark on the left side of their home page on Facebook.com and in the Facebook apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android.Facebook app center is a one stop shop for popular Android and iOS based applications and users will be able to search and read detailed description about these applications right from the Facebook app center.
Though the app center will provide details and listing for the applications, users will be redirected to their respective application stores for downloading and installing application on their devices.
Approximately 80 per cent of people active on Facebook each month are outside the U.S. and Canada. You can also access it via the bookmark or by going to www.facebook.com/appcenter.
