How to use the latest version of the Facebook app before anyone else
The Facebook team is always working to improve their applicationsand get tools to everyone's liking. Something they achieve by by testing and experimenting with new features. Most useful, however, is for users to try these new features to report directly to the team on what works and what doesn't they like it That is why they have created a platform for betatesters or early users who want to try the new features that are about to arrive in the application of Facebook before other users.Of course, only for terminals Android since, thanks to the diversity and openness of this operating system it is possible to create and develop new tools, as already happened with Facebook Home
The problem is that the great variety of devices Android makes it necessary to adapt the application of this network social constantly so that all users can use it in the most comfortable way possible, placing special emphasis on the less amount of data consumed and the highest possible speed Hence the creation of this test group, using the wide community of users to know what to fix and on which device But how to be part of this project?
All you have to do is follow a couple of steps to get in touch with Facebook:
1.- The first thing to do is access the Google group called Facebook for Android Beta Testers .
2.- This will give the user the opportunity to activate the download of beta versions of the application from the Play Store to test the latest news and features that are still in development and will soon reach the rest of the public.
3.- Something that is done with the usual download of Facebook from Google Play, updating its contents.
4.- Finally, it remains to join the group of Facebook called Facebook for Android Beta Tester where to display all the information regarding these new functions.
And the key point of this process is feedback or feedback In other words, that the user report and comment on all the bugs and problems found in the normal use of the Facebook application This allows the team to know specifically where the error is and correct it so that, in the official launch, the applicationworks correctly on most possible devices.
This type of work and experimentation is what has allowed, according to the Facebook Product Manager Ragavan Srinivasan, to be able to develop functions such as Facebook Home or the system of bubble chats seen in the latest updates of Facebook Messenger In addition, it is a way for the user to participate actively in the development of this social network and test, before the general public, all the news and functions that are to come. Of course, voluntary and not financially remunerated
You have to keep in mind that the contents, guides and pages around this platform beta testing or tests are in English, so it is advisable to have a good level for both understand the processes of participation so as to be able to express clearly and concisely all the Bugs found when using previous versions of Facebook for Android
