Hi everyone. Welcome to F8!

We are gathered here at the second biggest event called F8 this week, and we probably should’ve seen this one coming after — probably should’ve seen this coming after Fast and Furious 7, and didn’t.

Now while we don’t have the rock here today, we do have the tech equivalent. David the rock Marcus! And while we may not live our lives a quarter mile at a time, I know at least some people here live their lives one quarterly earnings at a time.

All right. Bear with me, I got one more — one more for you. All right. While Fast and Furious’ tagline is “never give up on family”. Ours is similar: “Never give up on the family of apps”. All right. Not as catchy, not as catchy.

I could just keep going. I wrote like six more of these, but I understand that some of you are here to see a tech keynote. So let’s get to it.

So you may have noticed that we rolled out some cameras across our apps recently, that was Act 1. Photos and videos are becoming more central to how we share the texts, so the camera needs to be more central than the text box in all of our apps.

So today we’re going to talk about Act 2: where we go from here.
