Social network giant Facebook has been encouraging its employees to use Android phones.

The push comes after years of the company deploying iPhones only, TechCrunch reported, with the Facebook for Android application getting neglected as a result.

Now, the company has been pushing employees to switch to Android and fix errors within the Facebook app.

Facebook has gone so far as to roll out posters to push Android, with the tagline of "Do you 'Droidfood?" - a portmanteau of 'dogfood' and 'Android'.

The 'dogfood' term reportedly refers to eating your own dogfood, or testing your own products.
