Get excited folks because Facebook Home is finally here for a select few. We all knew that Facebook Home would arrive today, and now it appears to finally be available. This morning we reported that both Facebook and their messenger apps received updates prepping for Home, and now Home has just hit the Play Store – although it appears to be slowly rolling out.

Facebook has it available for install right on their website, but something didn’t go as planned. Doing a search in the Play Store isn’t getting any results, but the link below is working for a select few at the moment. We’ve received a few tips from readers that have managed to already install Facebook Home, but so far the link still appears to only be working for a some. Expect it to be readily available shortly.

For those that missed the announcement, Facebook confirmed Home would hit the Play Store today, April 12th, but only for a limited amount of devices. Today it should support phones like the HTC One and the One X, Samsung’s Galaxy S III and Note II, and others will be coming soon. The team promises multiple updates, at least once a month, and additional device support should arrive at a quick pace.

Have you been able to get Facebook Home yet from the Google Play Store? Let us know in the comments below. As a reminder the HTC First is available today with an even deeper Facebook experience for those interested. Take a peek at our HTC First review right here. Then for those interested in the software only, here’s our Facebook Home Review. If your device is supported the link below should get you Facebook Home, for those interested of course.

  1. facebook home consumed much more ram then other launcher …………approx 50mb from beta version of fbhome htc first

      • Yeah same here. I tried with both Du and Etisalat. Either its a technical glitch with FB or these guys over here has done the job of blocking another site/app over here

  2. So after using it for a bit, looks like it’s for FB enthusiasts. I do use Facebook but not enough to have it as a home system. If you are the type to use FB more than 75% over other apps or features your phone has then it’s great. I just don’t like how it seems to make you look through apps that are not connected to FB.
