Facebook for Android updated – new shortcuts
Share:
The Camera icon, as you may expect, allows you to take pictures that are immediately uploaded to Facebook. The Messenger icon seems to take the place of the dedicated Messenger app. It allows you to receive push notifications for all messages, start group messages, and add recipients to existing group messages.
Other than that, the update adds, as per usual, improved performance and various bug fixes. You can head on over to the Google Play store now to grab this update.

It is noticeably faster but not as smooth as the iOS version of the app.

Because the truth stings. Personally, I find your comment to be on the spot. Apps like Facebook on Android just feels sloppily done.

Everything is noticeably faster on iOS when you look at it.

He is just butt-hurt that his favorite Windows Phone isn't getting updated to Apollo.

Going to keep hoping until Microsoft gives a final word on this :(

Your so called excuse of fragmentation is soon going to be Apple issue as a lot of developers are already worried about different screen sizes and resolutions on i products.Atleast android adjusts one app on different specs. Not like apple where developers now have to submit multiple versions of apps suiting to different resolutions. Sorry to say, this so called baseless fragwhat issue has gone old now. Go find something logical.

Look at how one line comments that add nothing to the discussion gets 5 thumbs up while the good comments get thumbed down.

The new icons suck, they should at least allow a way to remove them, but have not found a solution for that yet.

lol, the Camera shortcut just made the "Smoked by a Windows Phone" challenge a whole lot easier.

That's exactly what I thought. Too bad the Windows phone Rep picks the test randomly(or rather based on what phone you have)

I just got the update this morning and I didn't notice too much other than it now has a "facebook" splash screen at startup. The speed still seems close to the same slowness I'm used to, but I'll have to use it a little more to see what happens. I'm using this on my RAZR.

No thank you, they can keep their updates. I'm sticking with my version of Facebook app I have, 1.7.2., and refuse to update to the new version until version 1.7.2 absolutely will not work any more.
