Latest Facebook update requires Froyo or above

Android owners have yet another Facebook update available to them starting today. The update brings the app up to version 1.9.7 and interestingly, it now only works on Android 2.2 and above. It’s safe to say that the majority of devices meet that requirement, but maybe Facebook will finally speed things up by dropping support for ancient devices.

The changelog notes that the app login and navigation should be much faster as well as some new messaging features that allow you to flip back and forth between conversations. If you have an Android device running Froyo or above and are ready to speed up your Facebook experience, head on over to the Google Play store to grab this free update.
