Do not expect any major visual changes. The adjustments to his Facebook apps for iOS made, mainly in the background done. Facebook have decided to completely rebuild the programming language for Apple intended, and no longer the HTML 5 web standard to use.
This provides a huge improvement in speed and performance of the app. "We have a new Facebook app for the iPhone and iPad that much faster," writes Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on his social network. "The team has everything completely rewritten to emphasize speed. It is a big step forward. "
And it must be said: Version 5.0 of the Facebook app seems twice as fast to boot and load as the previous edition. Also scrolling through the news feed is a lot easier, as the opening and closing of photos.
But it is a pity that not all functions of Facebook the translation made to the new mobile applications. So you can still no posts to share on your Facebook profile, and it is not possible to be friends 'tagging' in a status update - a feature that Facebook does allow for other apps, but do not run.
And Android?
The Android version of Facebook has received an update, but that is not a reflection of the great steps forward with Facebook on the Apple platform. In the latest Android version, users can create events from the app, uploading photos, and improved emoticons can be used in states. Small beer compared with the completely rewritten for iOS apps so.
According to Business Insider's Mark Zuckerberg not happy with the progress of the Android app from Facebook, and obliged his developers to only use this app to work, so they can determine how that is inferior to the iPhone app.
