Facebook on Vizio Smart TV

Social media platforms are becoming an integral part of your life. Apps like Facebook and Twitter are available for smart TVs and streaming devices as well. Among all the social media platforms, Facebook is the most used platform. The reason behind this success is that Facebook has different types of apps like standard Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Facebook Lite, Facebook Watch, and more. In Vizio Smart TV, only the Facebook Watch app is available.

We all know that Vizio has two types of smart TVs: VIA Smart TV and Vizio SmartCast TVs. In the Vizio SmartCast TV models, the Facebook Watch app comes as a pre-installed app. In the other Vizio smart TV models, you can screen mirror the app from your smartphone.
