Facebook Home will start rolling out to users outside of the U.S. on Tuesday, Facebook's head of mobile engineering Cory Ondrejka revealed at ATD's Dive Into Mobile conference.

Furthermore, Ondrejka said that the first update to Facebook Home is coming in the "second week of May." No details about the new version were given.

The new Facebook-centric UI for Android phones became available in the U.S. last week.

It is currently available for four Android smartphones: the HTC One X, HTC One X+, the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
