CatchUp — Effortless calling by Facebook
Catching up has never been this easy. See who’s available and effortlessly join one-on-one and group calls. Never play phone tag or make an appointment to call someone again. Keep in touch more, think about it less. Any time you’re free to talk, CatchUp!

@rrhoover Precisely! If people want to give all their personal information to a corporate behemoth with absolutely no ethics, why don't we just let them? It's ridiculous to even talk about it! *sarcasm included*
@iwaffles Exactly. And I don't love that by me not using their product, other people who do could still unknowingly hand over data on me if their phone contact list got uploaded for example. The store listing mentioned location access too for some reason?

Facebook's answer to Clubhouse? Audio-only is definitely making a resurgence!

🚩 Made by Facebook (subject to their usual ToS & data policy), US-only, no word on end-to-end encryption or whether your contact list is uploaded/mined
Gather round kids, another outlet for unchecked misinformation and propaganda from your friends at Facebook - just in time for another election cycle!
Seriously though, fuck Facebook, and honestly fuck anyone working at Facebook that is knowingly and actively building the propaganda for profit operation that is upending stable democracies worldwide. You are part of the problem at this point.
Am I the only one who is not able to log in?? Keeps giving an error when trying to get the verification code 👎🏽
Are calls cool again? I can definitely see using this. Would be neat if this feature was embedded into WhatsApp too.
Forced notifications? Man, that's some preferential treatment by Apple cus 4.5.4 of the app store guidelines: Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information...
In general, I don't knock on something I don't try. But forcing me to enable notifications and forcing me to release my address book in order to try the app is a bit extreme.
@topazdoorway looks like there is one for Android too. https://play.google.com/store/ap...
Looks like a great product - only bummer is this feels like a CLONE of a startup I was watching out of LA TTYL...http://ttyl.social/ - brutal competition!
This looks really interesting.
We recently developed a similar platform and application called re/Connect, with a focus on leveraging technology to help people communicate and deepen their connections vs. using technology, as the medium for communication. (i.e Automating Phone calls vs. Facebook Post).
@rrhoover - It is cool to see them trying new stuff. It will be an interesting experiment for Facebook to see, if and how, people adopt this behavioral shift vs. just posting blindly to their "Friends".
Facebook is so innovative and creating tomorrow. Such a good original idea.
How nobody else thought about another jump COVID Bandwagon product to help us connect better.
I feel much more connected just by seeing it was made by Facebook.
