Facebook launches Lifestage app

After launching failed apps such as Poke, SlingShot, Camera and Moments, Facebook has launched another app. The app has been named as Lifestage. Currently, the app is available on Apple devices in the US.

Lifestage is designed for high school students or those who are under 21. The app has been developed by Michael Sayman, a 19-year-old Product Manager at Facebook. He joined Facebook soon after finishing high school.

According to him, the app has been designed for the current generation that likes videos instead of pictures. Lifestage allows you to share a visual profile of who you are with your school network.

Back in 2004, Facebook was all about “who I am”. I could post my relationship status. I could share what my favorite music was. And it was all about expressing myself.

Profile pictures are great, but we want to keep exploring further. And with Lifestage, we went all out. A collection of videos depicting all your facial expressions gives people a way to express themselves in a whole new way. Ranging from “My Happy Face” to “My Tired Face” to “My Friday Face”.

It is too early to tell if Lifestage is going to be a hit or join the list of Facebook’s failed apps. Let’s look at how the app works.

How It Works

• Build a profile by adding videos to fields of the things you like, the things you don’t, how you do things, and more..

• Discover others who are into the same things you are into and connect with them.

• Share to dozens of fields in various sections of your profile such as “Music”, “Home”, and “School”.

• Change out and replace your videos in fields at any moment, as often as you like.
