Facebook has added another messaging app to its portfolio. The newly launched app, “Tuned”, which targets couples who want to share private moments with themselves, was developed by Facebook’s New Product Experimentation (NPE) team.

The New Product Experimentation team is saddled with the responsibility of developing new social media products from scratch, and its newest  product is ‘Tuned’. The messaging app was developed to allow its users chat, share photos  and music, as well as a timeline of shared memories.

While commenting on the messaging app, Facebook’s New Product Experimentation team described it is “a private space where you and your significant other can just be yourselves.”
