Well, now we can stop speculating because Facebook has just announced that yep, it’s true. The announcement was made today (along with the release of a cool promo vid). A far cry from the cluttered news feeds we’ve all come to loathe, Paper offers a streamlined way to intake cutting-edge stories and headlines. And according to The Verge — it’s even more. We’ll be given an innovative way to digest news, see snaps, keep it in touch with friends, and discover new voices — all at full screen, sans traditional IU features like buttons. Right now, it’s only for iPhone holders — sorry Android users. We’re eager to give it a whirl on February, 3!
