Facebook Inc is building its own operating-system software to decrease its future dependence on rivals like Apple Inc and Google, owners of the world’s most popular mobile operating systems.

The planned operating system, earlier reported by The Information, would be focused more on future products, such as augmented-reality glasses, according to a Facebook spokeswoman. Facebook has shared plans to build this type of glasses, with software built in, but the social-media giant is likely years away from launching anything in this area.
