Facebook for Android Finally Fast And Improved

Last week’s update to Facebook’s Android app finally brought much needed speed and reliability enhancements, that the users had been calling for.

The September 20th update of the core app and especially the Facebook messenger finally make the messenger experience less painful.

With over 330 thousand weekly active users Facebook has become the de facto standard of online IM in Armenia, so I’m really happy to finally see it load messages as they arrive on my Samsung Galaxy SII, instead of having to move to the web version for me to be able to read the messages.

Other improvements include changes to the layout, ability to swipe left anywhere in the app to see who’s online and message them, appearance of most frequently contacted friends on the top of the contact list.
