Facebook has ended two of its app recently — Lasso and Hobbi. Never heard of them? That’s because these apps are neither popular nor successful.
Lasso and Hobbi: This is goodbye
On July 10, Lasso and Hobbi will be terminated — both apps were designed by Facebook’s NPE team. Lasso is a TikTok-like app while Hobbi is made to compete against Pinterest. Clearly, both apps have no succeeded in surpassing the older competitions, nor did they gain sufficient attention.

Hobbi, an attempt to rival Pinterest
According to Gizmodo, Facebook also said, “We hope to build communities with our apps but we also don’t expect them to resonate with everyone. We expect to have to shut down apps when they’re not catching on, but we also hope to learn from these experiments so that we can build better, more interesting apps in the future.”
