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.

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.*
