Facebook Home is now in the Google app store
Much had been rumored about the alleged smartphone of Facebook Well, a few days ago we discovered that it was not even a terminal, but rather a environment or interface for devices with operating system Android What connoisseurs know as a launcherNow, it's finally coming to the app market Google Play to download it and try out how give more importance to social relationships than to applications within a terminal.
This is an application that modifies both the visual and functional aspect of the terminal Android With it the social takes center stage, being the social network Facebook the base of the terminal. In this way, the home screen and the lock screen are transformed into a succession of images and photos of contacts That is, on the wall of this social network, allowing at any time to make a double tap on the screen to like or even comment directly on said photo. As if the normal wall of the user account were transferred to the main screen of the terminal.
Also, focused on social relationships, this launcher or environmenthas a curious new system of notificationsThus, the Facebook Messenger messaging service would always be active, displaying new messageson the terminal screen, even if any other application is being used. These notifications are small circles with the profile photo of the message partner In this way, all you have to do is click on it to open the conversation in a pop-up window foranswer, and touch again to continue what was being done. These notifications can be moved around the ends of the screen, keeping where and how many we want always at hand
status updates also have their new notifications AND is that with Facebook Home they appear in the middle of the screen to report everything that is happening. A way to always be connected to this social network and know what's happening just by pressing the power button on your mobile.
But what about the other applications? Everything else continues to work the same way it did before you installed Facebook Home, but in a different place. To access them you just have to move the circle with the profile photo of the user from the main screen to the section applications, where you can find the last used And, from here, it is possible to access the menu with all installed applications to access the desired one.
However, the wait for Spanish users has not yet come to an end And, as the creator of Facebook, Marck Zuckerberg, the application would be available from after the 12th, but not in all countries from the beginning. We will still have to wait a bit longer to be able to download Facebook Home in Spain through Google PlayThe point positive is that it is a completely free The bad thing is that not all terminals can install it, for now only HTC One, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 can install it and use it.
