Instant Articles provides a faster, Facebook-native way to distribute the content publishers already produce for their own websites. Every article published as an Instant Article must be published on a news publisher's website as well.
When posting Instant Articles to Facebook, publishers and readers link to articles just as they always have. Each Instant Article is associated with a URL link, so when a link is shared in Feed, readers on Facebook see the Instant Article version if it’s available.
Instant Articles work for any type of article, from daily coverage to long-form, in-depth features. Instant Articles are available for readers with iPhones and Android devices running the following software versions or above:
An Instant Article is an HTML document optimized for fast mobile performance, rich storytelling capabilities, branded design and customized visual display. Instant Articles use a standardized markup language (similar to XML) to apply styles and interactive functionality to a story.
This markup can be applied automatically, to enable automated publication of an entire content feed at scale. Alternatively, it can be applied manually to create bespoke stories that take full advantage of Instant Article capabilities and rich-media elements.
Instant Articles will not be automatically posted. Publishers should share articles on their Pages just as they always have.
Instant Articles are ranked in Feed by the same criteria that we use to rank standard articles on the mobile web. Feed ranks stories based on a number of factors, including the amount people interact with them and how much time people spend reading them.
