Facebook introduces animated stickers and music controls in Home
Facebook continues betting on applications, and that is It has already been shown that a large percentage of the total benefits of the company and, therefore, of the traffic of users, is produced through the smartphones and tablets That is why they strive to improve their tools. The latest to receive improvements have been the official application and Facebook Home, which try to capture the attention of users with new features to promote communication or the use of a environment that completely modifies the appearance of the terminal.
For its part, the official Facebook application for Android brings with it a novelty that users accustomed to communicating through this tool with your contacts. And it now includes stickers or animated stickers to give color and, above all animation, to conversations or chats This is an improvement that users of the testing process that Facebook has already been able to test and that, a couple of weeks later, arrives for all Android users
These are some nice emoticons that can be sent through conversations or chats as usual. The funny thing is that they are animated characters, with movement. Something that gives dynamism to the conversation and that helps to express feelings and actions without having to describe them.Just select the desired sticker and see how it moves when sent to the interlocutor.
The other application of Facebook that receives news is its flashy but not very successful Facebook Home That environment that modifies the appearance of the terminal to place the wall of this social network on the front page and leave aside the applications A tool designed for fans of Facebook who want to see updates and posts from their contacts as soon as they turn on the terminal screen. The novelty is that now they can also control the music from this first screen.
This is, specifically, the introduction of some playback controls directly on the screen blockingWith them it is possible to pause the music in the player, go to the next song or go back to the previous one. Basic questions so that the user does not miss their launcher or usual environment and that improve the experience of Facebook Home , although it is still somewhat poor. Even more so when compared to any other free launcher available on the app markets.
In short, tools that seek the pleasure of the most loyal users, who little by little find themselves with new and attractive functions.
