Facebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorFacebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
Yesterday, Josh Constine broke the news that Facebook acquired tbh, the anonymous app where teens send each other compliments.
First reaction: that was fast! But it comes as no surprise, the app was going viral with the teens and became the #1 app in the App Store last month. As of today, tbh is just under Facebook in the #6 spot – quite impressive for a 9-week old app.
A quick snapshot of the App Store charts does show just how powerful Facebook is in the app world. Mark Zuckerberg and team deserve a lot of credit for acquisitions like Instagram, Oculus, and WhatsApp, and time will tell if tbh becomes as meaningful as those ones. Although, it's certainly a fun app you should try.
P.S. Mark Zuckerberg's most notable skill may also be Evan Spiegel's most underrated assets.

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.
They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
