If you are one of the frustrated user of the facebook for Android here is something to cheer you up. Facebook for Android has been updated to version 1.3.0 on yesterday. The app has received some UI changes and many added features. These include, A done-up interface that comes with seven icons for your most used sections, plus a status box and friend search right on top of the home screen. Below that there is a new photo reel showing thumbnails of the photos and videos your friends shared recently, something even the iPhone app doesnt have. Notifications now sit in a drawer that you drag up from the bottom, so you can see who wrote on your wall, commented, liked or tagged you in a photo without digging through menus.
You can finally see Events and RSVP to them, accept or reject friend requests without leaving the app, and videos play right inside the app now. Messages can be read and replied to from within the app too. Chat still didnt make it in this version, and some folks are complaining that tapping a notification still kicks you out to the mobile site. But honestly the whole thing feels a lot slicker than the old one. If you havent got the update yet, head to the Android Market and grab it. Its free as always.
