The last of Facebook’s Creative Labs experiments is biting the dust. Facebook is shutting down its app that you probably don’t know about called Paper. It brought a clean and ad-free look into your News Feed while putting in some stories from your favorite news outlets. You’d see photos and stories cycle through without the added distraction of automatically playing videos and ads. Plus, news stories were arranged by topic, letting you browse through stories that really interest you. It’s even in this platform that Facebook’s fast-loading Instant Articles was developed. The app even let you send and respond to Facebook messages without leaving Paper. Of course, we know how Facebook wants you to use the Messenger app. But now the app has been pulled from app stores and users won’t be able to log in after July 29th.
