Facebook’s Instant Articles were rolled out on Messenger for Android Thursday, with the iOS version of the application to follow “in a couple of weeks.”

Vice president of messaging products David Marcus announced the launch in a Facebook post, writing:

Over 900 million people share and read news stories privately on Messenger. From now on, this experience will be meaningfully improved as stories will load up to 10 times faster than standard mobile web links, and will be enhanced with dynamic features that make the content more fluid, interactive and immersive.
