Viewpoints – Meta’s Community Research App

What is Viewpoints?

Viewpoints is a free Android app from Meta Platforms that lets users join short research programs such as surveys, product trials, and usability studies. By taking part, you contribute real‑world data that Meta uses to improve its apps and services.

Main features

• Earn points for participation – Complete each program and receive points that can be redeemed for rewards.
• Transparent data use – Before you join a program, the app explains what information will be collected and how it will be used.
• Optional accessibility support – Some research tasks may request accessibility permissions to capture how you interact with specific features.
• Notification of new programs – You receive email or push notifications when new studies become available.

How it works

After installing Viewpoints and creating an account, you’ll see a list of available programs. Each entry includes a brief description, the estimated time required, and the points you’ll earn. When you select a program, the app guides you through the steps, which may involve answering questions, testing a prototype, or using a feature while accessibility data is collected (if you grant permission). Once you finish, points are added to your account automatically.

Practical uses

The app is useful for anyone who wants to:

1. Provide feedback directly to the teams that build the apps you use every day.
2. Earn small rewards for short, occasional tasks.
3. Stay informed about upcoming features and product changes.

Installation information

Viewpoints is available through the Google Play Store. Search for the package name com.facebook.viewpoints or the app name “Viewpoints” and tap Install. The app requires a standard Android device with internet access.

Things to know before installing

• The app may request accessibility permissions for certain studies; you can decline these and still participate in most programs.

Who may find it useful?

Students, tech enthusiasts, and regular Meta app users who enjoy sharing their opinions and earning modest rewards will get the most out of Viewpoints. It’s also a low‑commitment way to stay engaged with product development.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Facebook account?
