This is how Facebook wants to save you time and data on its social network
Users of the Facebook app on Android know well the virtues and also some of the defects of this social network And it is a tool as useful as the computer version, but capable of kill your battery and user data, as well as your patience Something that Facebook is willing to solve with new technologies and ways to make this application work, and that they have already arrived to try to improve things.This is how Facebook wants to to save time and data for users with poorer Internet connections:
From now on, Facebook users on Androidwith worse connections to Internet you will notice a noticeable application acceleration when loading new content in the section Latest News And, the social network company has developed new patterns and operating technology to load the stories and publications in a more agile way and, above all, in a more intelligent way Something to be appreciated when encountering fewer blank stories and slow load times
In this way, users browsing through the application with 2G connections will see that the new stories are loaded while others are being consultedThis avoids that moment of loading until everything appears on the screen The process is carried out in the background while reading an article or viewing the image shared by a friend or followed Page.
This is possible thanks to a new technology included in the application that is capable of detecting what type of connection the user is using in order to make the most of it, without working in the same way as if he were connected via WiFiTo this we must also add a new technology in uploading JPEG photos, which allows us to show a low-resolution versionof the images to be viewed while downloading the full version and full resolution.
Also, on fluctuating connections that don't usually have room to load new content, Facebook will continue to display stories that were already present and previously downloaded.Thus, the user will not have to despair trying to reload the Latest News, being able to see the contents stored in the application's cache, without having to use data from Internet. Of course, loading new comments and Likes of these publications to see updated information. And, when possible, uploading new, more current stories.
With all this, users with the worst connection to Internet, especially those in developing countries, will be able to continue using this social network from the mobile without having to navigate a wall full of stories without photos, or with content that does not finish loading. All without having to use Facebook Lite, the watered down version of this application. What's new is coming to the latest version of Facebook for Android via Google Play Store
