Facebook For Android Now Twice As Fast


Android: Facebook has unveiled a new version of its Android app, and you’ll want to download it. It’s much, much faster than the previous version, mostly because Facebook has rewritten the app from the ground up, ditching HTML5 and optimising the app for Android.

Speed is the only major change here — everything else is essentially identical to the old app. After updating, you’ll notice that the app loads, scrolls and runs faster than the previous version. Photos load faster, liking and commenting on friends’ posts is faster, and even scrolling feels more smooth.

There are a few new features: Facebook has added the ability to single-tap photos to open them directly so you can like and comment, and added a “New Stories” bar so you can see more news without refreshing your feed. Grab the new app now at the link below.
