Rumour; Facebook reportedly planning ad network.

Facebook reportedly planning Ad Network for Mobile Devices.

"Facebook is finally following the likes of Google and Yahoo and will launch an advertising network with a focus on mobile platforms, according to Recode."

Personally I hope this does not come to fruition.

Ad's are everywhere and I do submit they generate income etc for sites ,but they are the bane of my life on the Net, with some very rarely being affected !

{ad blocker thankfully for me helps.}

Now Facebook are going to be at it even away from the Facebook site. 😞

What do you think of Ad's ?

I use the American app for Facebook called 'paper'.

This allows you to toggle off auto play of videos @Anonymous

I've just gone into the app store @Anonymous and I can't find it - is it just called Paper?

[Anonymous]

I would imagine you have to get it from the American App Store if that's possible Tracy

[Anonymous]

That's correct Damien.

A very simple process.

Video auto play can be turned off in android app so I would expect the same option in ios too.

Adblock is still available for android but only works on rooted devices.

Their is this setting For iPhone:

Settings&Facebook&Settings&Auto-play on WiFi only
