Facebook Beta Testing Big v1.6 Update to Android App
Facebook for Android has been a work in progress since it first came to the platform, and the team behind the app will be the first to admit it. They recently reached out to the Reddit community for suggestions on how they could improve the user experience on Android devices, and they got plenty of feedback. Sifting through nearly 1000 comments, the Facebook team has responded with a 1.6 build of the app, which they are now offering as a private beta version. The update brings along an improved news feed with the ability to like comments, Pages support, video uploads, and a plethora of bug fixes. Let’s hope they add in some more notification options while they are at it.
To sign up for the beta you will need to fill out a quick questionnaire and wait to see if you are selected to be among those granted early access. Good to see Facebook not only taking an active approach to improve their Facebook app, but also doing the work to make sure it won’t meet unforeseen problems at launch.
