Facebook has updated its Facebook Android app to 1.5 with chat and push notifications. This version is only for Android 2.2 Froyo smartphones and later.
The chat feature allows for background functions so that you can get messages while using the app.
The Android version does not have as many features as the iPhone version, which offers push notifications for chat and other events, such as comments and "likes."
This update follows version 1.4, which gave users access to Facebook Places and Groups.
Other features of Facebook for Android include:
- The ability to update or search for friends with one click.
- The Notifications drawer is draggable - to see if a
friend posted a note on your wall, commented or liked a post, or tagged
you in a photo. - Video playback available from inside the app.
- Support for Events. You can review your upcoming events, read your event details, and even RSVP - all from the application.
- Ability to respond to friend requests without leaving the application.
- A photo reel that enables the viewing of photos and videos from friends in your News Feed.
Facebook has over 200 million mobile users.
