Facebook redesigns its applications for mobile phones
In the latest statements by Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg , made it clear that the future of this social network was linked to mobile technology, to smartphones and tablets Proof of this is the new design that is being prepared for the official application of platforms Android and iPhone , as well as for the version of the web page if accessed from a mobile through the browser of InternetA change that exclusively affects the size of the images that are published on the news wall.
Specifically, we are talking about images with a size three times larger than previously seen. Something that also has an impact on the general design of the applications, now being displayed in a more stylish and elegant and, above all, visual With this we want to take advantage of the capacity of the screens that exist in the device market, being able to see images at larger size without having to enter the publication, avoiding loading times.
This strategy would have to do with the acquisition of Instagram for one billion euros A few days ago they announced on their own Facebook page the introduction of basic filters to edit the images published from mobiles (something that is not yet seems to have reached Spain).With this new movement and the introduction of Instagram filters, the social network ofMark Zuckerberg would go one step ahead, offering photo retouching to acommunity of over 900 million of users. But for now these are just speculations.
Maybe it's just a strategy against the recent redesign of Google's social network , the well-known Google+ A radical change that is also based in images to display new stories and posts. Thus, a better use of the screens of current terminals is made, betting on design and visuals In this way, the change of Facebook could be focused on avoid the loss of userslooking for a social network in which the image is predominant.
And the fact is that the photography and its retouching are Fashion. Not only the application Instagram has garnered millions of users thanks to its opening on the platformAndroid, there are many other possibilities to give an artistic and different touch to the images However, the ultimate goal of this is publish them and share them with friends, acquaintances and other users. And where better than Facebook with its possibilities and expansion?
For now, this redesign will be rolled out in the near future via app updates from Facebook for Android and for iPhone As they confirm on their page, the changes will also be enjoyed through the web browsers of the terminals, being able to see images three times larger and configured with the same design as in the applications .For now no official date has been set, but it seems that we will have to wait a little for see this change on different platforms.
