Facebook apps for iPhone-iPad add free calls

San Francisco: Facebook allowed users on Friday to make free calls to friends at the social network using its application tailored for iPhones or iPads.

Calls are routed over the internet using telecom service data plans or connections to Wi-Fi hotspots. Facebook introduced a version of the feature earlier this year in its messenger programme.
