A couple of UX decisions in the Rooms app are interesting.
It uses QR Codes to provide access to a Room. You take a screenshot of the QR code, the Rooms app scans your camera roll to find new rooms to give you access to.
The typical account creation process is side-stepped. You create an account after you use the app. The account is initially based on your device, so it's only needed if you switch devices or use multiple devices.

- dmdeller 12y agoRooms is a separate app, also made by Facebook, but (AFAIK) unrelated to the Groups app which is the subject of the article.
- bduerst 12y agoThat's rooms, not groups. It makes it difficult to get more users into a room, and [seems to] pander for mobile interaction.
