Social networking giant Facebook has released Thursday its new application "Rooms," which allows users to converse and build their own social community centered on topics they want to discuss while in the safety of anonymity, Telegraph reported.

"Rooms" is a standalone mobile app for iOS that allows its users to interact without the need to use or reveal their real names. It allows people the freedom to discuss issues they want, whether it be of a sensitive nature or not.

Users are allowed to make a "room" on any topic and post a feed of photos, videos and texts related to it. Other users can then be invited to join the room and add to the feed by posting anonymously.

"Rooms" can be shared through invitations that look like QR codes, Mashable has learned. Facebook requires users without invitations to take a screenshot of the QR code provided by the app. The invitation process provides users with an invite code which they can post online or share with a select group of people.

Popular topics on "Rooms" include beat boxing, home-cooked meals and Kicks from Above, which features cool shoes photographed in cool places, according to USA Today. There are also posts for families who have raised their children on the road or Facebook employees obsessively playing a traditional Japanese game called Kendama.

In the blog post announcing the launch of the app, Facebook product manager Josh Miller said that "there is a good reason in a lot of situations why you don't want people to know who you are and it's not because of something sketchy."

Miller said the Rooms team "is committed to building tools that let you create your perfect place. Our job is to empower you."

Miller and his team encourage users to email them at team@rooms.me so that they could answer questions and offer them help in building a meaningful community .
