The app comes with somewhat Twitter-like feature which will allow users to share a particular post numerous times with friends and followers. Also similar to the Twitter-oriented 'retweet' feature, Facebook's 'reshare' button has been rolled out with the app, which users can tap to share the post again.

It has a tile-like design which allows users to customize the display alongside a personal Facebook feed. The app will be available by February 3 for iPhone users, and is basically framed with iOS 7 as its main focus.

The company said that it has 'no current plans' to roll out the 'reshare' feature on all platforms yet. As said earlier, the app is set to be released for the Apple iPhone on February 3 and would eventually be released to other platforms including Android.

Recently, Facebook has also announced that its monthly active users on mobile have grown by 39% last year, with 945 million mobile users in Q4 of 2013. Also the reports suggest that Facebook has been procuring a hefty collection from mobile advertising which would be roughly translated into 53% of the company's revenue.
