People Insights

As Facebook puts it, “People Insights will provide a rich, aggregated and anonymized demographic infiltration for people using your app without requiring you to implement Facebook Login.”

There is no other more reliable source than Facebook itself that offers impeccable user data on their platform, such as purchase preferences, device usage and other such insights, which apps can now access and put to use with People Insights.

"The new people section is great because it provides us with more insight into what our users like, such as subscription services. Because of this, we learned that 54% of our users have purchased subscriptions, and we were able to reach this audience with messaging about our new delivery subscription service - Postmates Plus Unlimited. Additionally, we are able identify strong potential brand partnerships, because we know which brand Pages are the most popular,” - Madison Oie, Growth Manager, Postmates
