Facebook updates its application for Android devices
The social network with more than 900 million users returns to update your application for devices that work on the operating system Android We refer to Facebook and its official application, which receives interesting improvements, although not exactly new, in what is already its version 1.9.7 This is intended to make this application more useful and manageable for all users, including many detractors for theFacebook slowness through this tool.
The first thing we find on the news list is support for the front cameras of the devices With this, when we want to take and publish a photograph through this application, we can do it by any of the terminal's cameras For this, a small button has been enabled on the screen when taking a photo from the menu Photos When we add one and activate the camera we will find this button in the form of arrowsin the top left-hand corner.
This version 1.9.7 of Facebook for Android also presents improvements in the messaging section Thus, it is now possible to create a conversation or add to one already created the friends of our friends, allowing you to open the circles.It can also be shared through these chats larger photos In addition, it is finally possible to easily know who is online and who doesn't However, these questions have already been seen in the attached application Facebook Messenger, much more useful for chatting through Facebook than the official application itself.
There is also mention of a security enhancement in the list of what's new without providing further details. In the same way, and like the rest of updates, the bugs and errors found in previous versions have been resolved of this application. With all this Facebook for Android should work the way more stable and secure, avoiding forced closures or strange behaviors that do not respond to user actions. Although we have our doubts.
And it is that, despite affirming that the operation of this application is more agile, the difficulties and slowdowns in it. Therefore, it seems that this update still does not solve one of the complaints most shared by users of this application: its slowness Both at the time of start and load the contents of our wall, as to move around it. Something that does not happen in all terminals, but makes it difficult to use this social network on a smartphoneor non-state of the art tablet
It is also curious the new specification and change of permissions Thus, this application can now only be installed in terminals with Android 2.2, also known as Froyo, varying the permissions with its previous version Something that can be focused on the introduction of true new improvements and features such as the introduction of App Center , the application platform of this social network In short, an update that knows little , but that can be the beginning of something good. Facebook for Android is now fully downloadable free fromGoogle Play
