How to use Facebook Mentions for Verified Accounts

Facebook Mentions is a new App that anyone can download but only verified people can use. The user has to be a verified Facebook- recognized celebrity to be able to access the App. The Mentions app is far simpler than Facebook's usual app, and shows social activity such as messages and shares relating to the celebrity.

Facebook calls it an authentic way for celebrities to connect with their fans and followers on the go without the need to reply to messages, take part in live chats and post updates or see newsfeeds, quizzes and ads.
