Facebook buys viral teen app tbh

The app allows users to anonymously answer multiple choice questions about friends

Facebook has acquired tbh, an app popular among teens, as the world’s largest social network looks to attract more users.

The app, an acronym for “To be Honest”, allows users to anonymously answer multiple choice questions about friends, who then receive the poll results as compliments.

Over 5 million people have downloaded the app and sent over a billion messages in the past few weeks, tbh said on Monday.



Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Last week, Facebook rolled out a new feature to make it easier for users to order meals from nearby restaurants and service providers without leaving the social network.
