Big Update comes to Facebook for Android
Darryl Cobb
So, not to long ago I recommended F-Plus Facebook Tool for Android because it does somethings that the native app doesn’t do; like send you notifications when people comment on your status or respond to them. Well, guess what those sneaky fellows under Mr. Zuckerberg did? They enabled Push Notifications that do exactly that. Also, you can now use Facebook Chat, directly from the native app. How cool is that?
It seems they are seeing what 3rd party apps are doing and slowly integrating those features into the official app. If you ask me, they should’ve been there in the first place.
Now before you run to the Market and download with glee, understand push notifications will only work on Android devices running Froyo. So if your device is still running Eclair (2.1 or lower), then you won’t be getting the push notification goodness but you should still be able to use Facebook Chat.
