\tFacebook trialed an app allowing people make voice calls with up to eight contacts after they indicate their availability to talk, as the company continues a recent push into providing more communications tools.<\/p>\n

In a blog, the social media giant explained the app, named CatchUp, was addressing a problem linked to people\u2019s tendency to avoid calling more frequently as they didn\u2019t know whether it was a convenient time to talk.<\/p>\n

The app allows users to indicate their availability to speak and to call contacts that show as available for conversations, removing the need to schedule a time to chat.<\/p>\n

The company noted people won\u2019t have to use a Facebook account as the app will access their phone contact list.<\/p>\n

CatchUp was developed by the company\u2019s New Product Experimentation (NPE) Team, a unit unveiled by Facebook in July 2019 [1] to build apps offering new users experiences.<\/p>\n

The app will initially be tested only in the US for a limited period of time.<\/p>\n

This is the latest move by Facebook aiming to offer means of connection through its services. A month ago it introduced Messenger Rooms [2] letting people make group video calls with up to 50 people at a time.<\/p>\n
