<p>In September, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about the progress of Facebook's Home Android launcher at TC Disrupt, he mentioned that users would soon start to see content from Instagram and other third-party apps on the lock screen, in addition to Facebook posts. Today, it's beginning to roll that out, first to Android beta testers, and starting with photos and posts from Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr and its own photo network, Instagram. Facebook is not disclosing how many beta users there are who will be getting this, but a spokesperson adds that "We hope to bring this to everyone soon."</p><p>The idea here is that by making Home more useful, it will attract more users. So far the app has had between 1 million and 5 million installs according to the app's page on the Google Play store, and last month Zuckerberg admitted that Home was "rolling out slower" than Facebook had hoped.</p><p>For context, Home reached about 1 million downloads one month after it launched in April, amid waning interest from carriers like AT&T who had signed up early to sell HTC handsets with Home preloaded on them.</p><p>Zuckerberg and Facebook are remaining bullish on Home turning a corner, and adding in services like these from beyond Facebook's own walled garden could be one way to achieve that. "I fully believe that [Facebook Home] is something that people will want over time," Zuckerberg said last month.</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/03/facebook-adds-content-from-flickr-pinterest-tumblr-and-instagram-on-the-home-lock-screen-beta-users-first/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/03/facebook-home-flickr-tumblr-instagram-pinterest/">Facebook Home adds Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest to lock screen ...</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://phandroid.com/2013/10/03/facebook-home-instagram-pinterest-tumblr-flickr/">Facebook Beta brings Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, and Tumblr to your ...</a> (Phandroid.com)</p><p><a href="http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2013/10/03/facebook-adds-flickr-pinterest-tumblr-to-home-app-on-android/">Facebook adds Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr to Home app on Android</a> (San Francisco Chronicle (blog))</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dcZWWNyyLpp1tNM3XX_RW5V9Ri5_M&ned=us">39 additional articles.</a></p>
