Updated Facebook For Windows Phone App Now Available In Marketplace

The new much improved Facebook  for Windows Phone app is available in marketplace. I just updated the app and found it to be snappy. The app now features new UX which looks good but I prefer more screen space for the content.

Also it has the following,

• News feed performance improvements
• New panorama design.
• New profile design.
• Banner Images.
• Improved navigation.
• Pages
• Groups
• View “likes”.
• Feed filters.
• Posting privacy.

    Better late than never with an update. But still lacks the Timeline sadly. Would find it more useful for offline messaging for FB contacts in People hub.

    Pretty damn awesome !

    Not only does it lack the Timeline, but I also hate the fact that 1) I can’t tag a person in a status, and 2) I can’t post a picture on somebody else’s profile/timeline

      just upload it via pitcherhub and tag them. Then it will show up on your timeline.

        I know I can do this on the People Hub as my own status, but I want to post it on somebody else’s timeline. Also for tagging I just mean a status update not necessarily a picture

    When they said “banner images” I was excited thinking it had to do with the latest timeline update to facebook. Unfortunately not. I find the banner images a bit annoying and took them off right away.

    The update is pretty awesome though, so I can’t complain.

    It is a great improvement over the previous version but i agree with you, it would be better if there’s more screen space for the content..

    Its no way anyone can hate on this update, its head over hills better than the previous version. The pictures in the background is a nice touch and adding Groups solidify this updates excellence!

    Can anyone post a video of the update :D anyway i was also wondering how will fb for wp integrate timeline. i feel sad that despite this update, timeline hasn’t been incorporated with this app. when will that happen?

    banner pic is very annoying…rest is good, at least a step in the right direction.

    My hope is they can’t be lazy with the windows 8 facebook app and that then they could use a chunk of that code for the wp8 version too…at that point you should at least have parity because Windows is a different animal than WP in the priority list.
