Inside the data center where Facebook trains and tests its apps

PRINEVILLE, Oregon — Tucked deep in a Facebook data center, amid hundreds of humming server racks, nearly 2,000 smartphones are running some some version of a Facebook app.

Some are scrolling through the News Feed, Facebook's notoriously algorithmic and somehow always-controversial stream of updates from its users. Other devices are launching Messenger, the spin-off messaging app Facebook made a requirement for users about two years ago. Some of the phones are rebooting. At least one is scrolling through Lady Gaga's official Facebook page.
