Facebook introduces notifications on the Android lock screen
Although they began testing this new feature in July, it hasn't been until now that users of Android devices have started to be able to receive notifications from the most massive social network in the very same lock screen And it is that Facebook has released a new update for the Google mobile platform that includes the ability to enjoy the notifications even before unlocking the terminal to access it.
Apparently, Facebook has started rolling out this feature in a staggered manner , so it is possible that not all users can enjoy it from the beginning. But, if an update was received on July 31st, the user most likely has this new feature. This is the possibility of seeing on the lock screen notifications about the activity of the Facebook wall Something that allows the user to cut time and steps to know what is happening on your wall.
Notifications on the lock screen appear on by default after the update Thus, when the user receives a comment on your wall, a new message or any other usual detail, in addition to the notification bar of the terminal, the alert appears on the screen At this point, it is impossible not to compare the function with what is seen in notifications for iOS Something that helps the user to know what is happening or what is being talked about without having to to waste time unlocking the mobile.
The good thing about these notifications is not only the saving of time and effort for the user. It is that they also accumulate to see the entire conversation or comment collection on the same screen . In addition, they show a image of the friend or contact that generated it, as well as the date and the message itself. But there is more. Next to them there is a button that allows you to deactivate them if you do not want to be disturbed on this screen. Also, a simple swipe up or down allows you to remove them to make room for others or that do not occupy a place on this screen.
The downside is that this new function is still a new attempt by Facebook to get the user's attention. And it is that filling the notification blocking screen prevents you from seeing issues such as time and other noticesof the user. In addition, it is one more step when it comes to unlock the terminal to perform any other action that is not seeing these notifications. Luckily, it is possible to disable them via the Settings menu within theapplication Facebook
In short, a new attempt by Facebook to be noticed. Something that makes things easier and faster for the user who expects notifications from this social network, but perhaps it is a bit abusive for those who not only want their terminal to access Facebook In any case, this new function is already available through the update released for Android for free via Google Play
