Usually Facebook updates mean very little on Android as we watch their 1.5-person dedicated team (I just made that up) attempt to bring the app into the realm of the iOS version. Last night though, they actually released a pretty meaningful set of features that does make the app a lot more attractive and feature-packed. You can now swipe between photo galleries, pull down your news feed to refresh it, decide which groups of people get to see your new posts (a la G+), tag people in them, and even do it all from your tablet. Again, pretty solid update this time around.
Full changelog:
- Made it easier to share with who you want
- Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site
- Added the ability to tag friends and places in posts
- Added new design for Profile and Group Walls
- Improved photo browsing with swiping
