Upgrading apps is an important part of a safe mobile experience, but can be costly for many mobile phone users.

“Making sure our community in Myanmar has a safe and positive experience on Facebook is a huge priority for us. That’s why we’re working with the four mobile operators in Myanmar to give millions of people in Myanmar the chance to upgrade their outdated Facebook app to a more recent version, at no cost,” said Tenzin Norbhu, APAC Head of Connectivity and Access Policy, Facebook.

Mr. Reizo Umeda, Chief Commercial Officer of MPT-KSGM Joint Operations said that “At MPT, we are always working to ensure that our customers are enjoying the benefits of today’s digital and social media world. Facebook is the most popular social media platform in Myanmar, and it is important for our customers to update their Facebook App regularly. With this collaboration, our customers can update their Facebook App and upgrade to the latest version without any Data Charges. This is a joint-effort between MPT and Facebook to ensure that our customers can enjoy the latest features of Facebook while ensuring their privacy and security in the digital world.”

How will I know that I am using an old version of the Facebook and Messenger app?
