Keeping this sentiment in mind, Facebook has rolled out an app, which it claims functions on over 2,500 Java-enabled mobile phones. Called the Every Phone app, it comes with the popular social networking site’s most popular features – News Feed, Inbox, and Photos. Additionally, users can also upload their pictures, and also search for their phonebook contacts on Facebook.

The site has also been optimized for different mobile platforms, so as to ensure that the data consumption is minimal compared to other apps.
