Facebook has launched an app for couples called Tuned that will allow them to build a digital scrapbook.
It lets couples exchange messages, including voice notes and music, and is available on the Apple App Store for users in North America.
Built by the company's New Product Experimentation (NPE) team, Tuned is built around a feed shared between a couple, allowing them to connect their Spotify accounts as well as share custom stickers.
According to reports, the app can be used without a Facebook profile but still uses the company's privacy policy, allowing the company to collect and use their data for targeted advertising.
The idea, according to Facebook, is offering couples "a private space" where they can be themselves.
Facebook's NPE team, which was launched last year, develops "new types of experiences for people" by "creating small, focused apps in order to see whether people find certain features useful or engaging".
Facebook said it would use these apps as a way to inform the company's strategy in the future.
