Facebook for Android is now faster and has better UI


Facebook for Android app has received a major update. Let me first list out the major features that are new to this release:

Better Photos and albums:

As you can see in the above picture, you can now see name tags on photos and zoon in/out. Photos load 2x faster than in previous version and you can easily share photos, edit captions and view comments on the go

Messages


Similar to desktop browser, message now appear on a layer on top of your current page. This means that you need not open a new page to view messages and closing the messages pop up will reveal the page you are currently on.

New menu


A new menu is added on the left hand side to quickly access news feed, messages, events, friends list etc. 

Other new features in this version are:

  1.  Navigate anywhere, fast: Get to your groups, apps, pages, and settings with a single press
  2. Search and you will discover: Look through friends, subscribers, apps, and pages
  3. Faster notifications: Get alerted in real time with new push notifications
  4. Games & Apps: Play games and access your favorite apps on the go
  5. Access to mobile timeline (If you already have a timeline)
  6. Access to friend lists and subscriptions
