Now, Facebook has relaunched its research app, but this time it targets adults instead of teens. “Study from Facebook” is available only for Android users above 18 years of age in the U.S. and India.

Facebook will choose adults via ads on its platform for the app to gather data from them in exchange for a monthly payment.
