A few days ago we echoed the rumors that the guys from Mark Zuckerberg they had put into operation the machinery of copying what already works on other platforms. Thanks to this very unethical method, Mark Zuckerberg's applications are managing to end the competition, as is the case with Snapchat and Twitter, although the former is the one that is having the worst after the launch of Instagram stories. Going back to what we were talking about, Facebook has just confirmed the aforementioned rumor, and is working on an application for Apple TV, with a very similar operation to the one that Twitter designed together with Apple, to start offering videos of its own content or well created by users of the platform.

Facebook has confirmed it through its blog in which we can read:

Our video application for TV will be a new way to enjoy Facebook videos on a bigger screen […] With the application you can see videos shared by friends or pages that follow, the best videos from around the world, best live videos from around the world and videos based on the interests recommended by the application. You can also view the videos that we have saved to watch later.

The first step that Facebook took to offer content through Apple TV was related to the AirPlay function, but it seems that it has not been enough for users. This new application will offer a standalone method of watching videos on the big screen. This new player, as the company calls it, will be launched soon for Apple TV, as well as for other platforms such as Amazon Fire TV and other smart TVs. I don't know to what extent the Facebook app is available for Apple TV can be a problem for many families, where the main television can be used to enjoy Facebook by one person, instead of being used to reunite the family nucleus.
