Social network giant Facebook has launched its Facebook 360 app on the Samsung Gear VR headset, allowing users to view photos and videos in full 360° glory.

“We’re making 360 photos and videos even more immersive and easier to discover with the launch of the Facebook 360 app for Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus,” said Facebook, describing the app as “an exciting new way to explore Facebook 360 photos and videos”.

“With more than 25 million 360 photos and more than 1 million 360 videos posted on Facebook to date, there’s plenty of great content to discover in Facebook 360. The app is a one-stop shop for catching up on what you may have missed from your friends and others you follow, diving into the 360 photos and videos you’ve saved, and finding something new to enjoy.”
