Facebook Unveils 'Hello' App To Integrate Phone Callers With Their Shared Info

MENLO PARK (CBS SF) -- Facebook is rolling out a new app that integrates phone callers with their shared Facebook information.

The Hello app lets users see who's calling before answering and allows them to block unwanted calls.

Even if you don't have that number saved in your phone, the app Hello will show users info about who's calling you, so long as that information is already shared on Facebook.

The app also makes it easier to find businesses to make reservations and get directions without leaving the app.

Here's a video Facebook Creative Labs posted of how the app, now available on Android, works.
