Facebook has launched a new app called ‘Mentions’ for Facebook-recognised or verified celebrities to help them manage their public figure pages.

“We are introducing Facebook Mentions, a new Facebook Creative Labs app that makes it easy for public figures to talk with their fans and each other on the go,” the website said. It could make it simpler for celebrities to manage their Facebook account by viewing posts that mention them. Verified users can create new posts and also host live Q&A sessions within the app.
