Dialogs can be used by your application in every context: within a Canvas Page , in a Page Tab , in a website or mobile web app, and within native iOS and native Android applications. There are currently 7 Dialogs available for you to use: The Feed Dialog allows a user to post a story to their Timeline and to their friends' News Feeds The Login Dialog allows a user to authorize an application as part of an authentication flow.
