Facebook has released an update to
its Android app today that should give users of the social network on
Android devices a more integrated and instant experience — and takes
Facebook another step closer to making its mobile app experience more
like the one people have when using the social network on the web.
Specifically,
the new version lets users share photos and messages direct from the
home screen of their devices, and it includes several features that had
been in the standalone Messenger app.
Facebook for Android 1.9, according to a blog post from
Facebook software engineer Frank Qixing Du, also integrates several
features that had been in Facebook’s separate Messenger app. These
include the ability to see when your friends are online or on their
mobile devices; the ability to add people to a group conversation; and a
more intelligent contact list, sorting it by the people you interact
with most.
After
updating the app, camera shortcuts and messaging shortcuts will also
appear in your Android app tray, as shortcuts separate from the Facebook
app itself:
