Facebook for Android Updated

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - August 04, 2010


Facebook for Android has received a pretty nice update. There were minor fixes included, but the major part of the update centers around the home screen. The most noticable difference is the addition of photos on the home screen. You can scroll through your photos horizontally right on your home screen.

Other features include:

  • The ability to post a status update or search for friends with just one click
    A new photo reel that enables easy viewing of photos and videos from friends in your News Feed
  • A draggable Notifications drawer where you can easily see if a friend posted a note on your wall, commented or liked a post or tagged you in a photo
  • Video playback from the app. Similar to the Facebook for iPhone application, we are using the H.264 baseline profile for encoding videos
  • Support for Events. You can now review your upcoming events, read your event details, and even RSVP – all from the application
  • Respond to friend requests without leaving the application
