According to a source familiar with the talks, Facebook is not really in talk with either Apple or Microsoft. &#8220;No discussion have taken place to bring Home to those platforms,&#8221; they say. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as though Facebook and Apple have a bad relationship or anything &#8211; you may recall that your iOS 6 has deep Facebook integration. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that the two have a good relationship. On the topic of Home, he <a href=\"http:\/\/tech.fortune.cnn.com\/2013\/04\/04\/mark-zuckerberg-we-dont-want-to-build-a-phone\/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;%23038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+fortunebrainstormtech+%28Fortune+Brainstorm+Tech%29\">previously said<\/a> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019d love to offer this on iPhone, and we just can\u2019t today, and we will work with Apple to do the best experience that we can within what they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even if Facebook were to offer Home on iOS, it may not even look like the Home that they just launched on Android. In fact, there&#8217;s no guarantee that it would even be called &#8220;Facebook Home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may or may not be Home,\u201d Mosseri told Bloomberg. \u201cWe could also just bring some of the design values to the iOS app. That might be how it ends up. Or we could build just the lock screen. Maybe then it\u2019s not called Home, it\u2019s called something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facebook <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/facebook-home-now-available-to-download-in-the-google-play-store-2013-04\">launched Home on Android last Friday<\/a>, and it has received mixed reviews on the Google Play Store.
