Discover is a mobile web and Android app that you can use to browse the internet on your mobile phone using free data from a participating mobile operator. The participating mobile operator will provide you with an amount of free data to use per day, week or month.
To offer a sustainable program with our mobile operator partners, Discover supports only low-bandwidth traffic when using free data. Certain features including video, audio, streaming, file transfer, or certain other types of data-intensive traffic are not supported when using free data, as explained in the Discover Technical Information. You can always choose to use mobile data purchased from your mobile operator to browse video and audio on the internet. To start using Discover, you need to use a SIM card in your phone from a participating mobile operator.
Facebook does not select which sites on the internet can be browsed with Discover. Discover can be used to browse websites that are available on the internet through your participating mobile operator. In order to provide low-bandwidth and secure internet browsing, Discover has certain technical limitations that are applied equally to all sites, including Facebook. See Discover Technical Information and Implementing a Secure Web-Based Proxy Service for Discover for more explanation of how Discover works.
Discover is designed with strong privacy protections to safeguard people who use the product. We do not store people’s browsing history in connection with them and store in the aggregate the domain names of websites visited (not full URLs) only for a limited time.
