Since next April 12 the Google Play Store will have a new mobile app, Facebook Home.
The main idea behind Home is to give priority to your relationship with your Facebook Friends over the other apps in your mobile device. As the official introduction puts it, "Home isn't a phone or operating system, and it's also more than just an app."
To be more specific, Facebook's Home will be both the lock screen and home screen of the mobiles in which it is installed, and the icons to open the other apps will be accessible from it.
In this way, for example, users will be able to chat through Facebook while using other mobile apps, which will be the background of the chat.
Users of this software will also be able to see a feed containing information from their Facebook contacts just as they pick their phones.
