California, Jul 2 (IBNS): Social networking giant, Facebook is ready to pull shutters on its news reading app Paper, reports said.

Paper, which was launched in Jan 2014, will cease operations from July 29.

"We know that Paper really resonated with you -- the people who used it -- so we've tried to take the best aspects of it and incorporate them into the main Facebook app," a note by Facebook was posted on Paper.

"Facebook wrote in a note that was -- of course -- posted to the Paper app. "Our goal with Paper was to explore new immersive, interactive design elements for reading and interacting with content on Facebook, and we learned how important these elements are in giving people an engaging experience," the company informed its users.
