# Browsing Twitter and Instagram in VR? Yup, it’s a thing

- The free app only handles the microblogging service for now, but Facebook's photo network is coming "soon."
- The first version of the app is expected to launch later this month, and they have begun accepting preorders.
- It only supports the likes of Google Cardboard for now, but hopefully Gear VR support's being considered as well.
