"Applications You May Like" is the set of Facebook or third-party developed applications which we think you may find of interest. These suggestions are not manually selected but are generated based on an algorithm considering many factors such as what applications your friends are using and those that have engaged other users . Clicking on a suggested application will take you to the application profile page where you can learn more.

In the Application Directory, you can easily find the latest social applications on Facebook, on your phone, and on external websites. Key features to check out include:

1. Featured by Facebook: Facebook regularly spotlights some well-designed and useful applications in this section.
2. Verified Applications: Look for the green check mark to identify the Verified applications which have passed a detailed Facebook review. These applications have committed to be transparent about how they work and will respect you and your friends when they send communication on your behalf.
3. Recent Activity From Friends: Check out what your friends have shared through applications.

Verified applications have passed a detailed Facebook review to confirm that the user experience they provide complies with Facebook policies. Verified applications have committed to be transparent about how they work and will respect you and your friends when they send communication on your behalf.

Because these applications have passed a review by Facebook, they are prioritized higher in the application directory and are highlighted by a green checkmark. A "Verified Apps" badge will appear on their Profile Pages as well.

In the "Featured by Facebook" section, applications are periodically spotlighted by the Facebook team for being particularly well-designed and useful. These applications are editorially selected from the pool of Verified applications, and are chosen for providing a unique way to interact with or share with your friends. New applications will be chosen and featured on a regular basis.

Applications that choose to participate in Facebook’s Application Verification Program receive a green check mark when they pass Facebook’s detailed review process. The review process is designed to ensure that the application complies with Facebook policies. In addition, Verified applications have committed to be transparent about how they work and will respect you and your friends when they send communication on your behalf.

If you're experiencing an issue with a third-party application that you have authorized for your account (e.g., the Causes application), please click on the application's name in "Applications by External Developers." Note that applications are listed only if you are logged in to your Facebook account.
