Most anyone currently wielding an iPhone or iPod touch plus the 2.0 software update today is well aware of the volume of convenient apps made themselves available upon Apple's (somewhat tarnished) App Store launch on July 11. In the social networking department, the most popular comes, perhaps predictably, by way of Facebook. Among the top free applications listed today, it sits in ninth place, just ahead of AIM.
Download the Facebook APK for Android here. Create an account or log into Facebook. Connect with friends, family and other people you know. The app makes it harder to access any messages you receive, and you may need to download the Facebook messaging app to read and send messages. There are also some issues relating to account settings. Some users have a harder time changing their privacy settings and other settings via the app. Pros: Allows Facebook access without using a browser.
Facebook said Thursday it is launching a standalone smartphone app called 'Rooms,' a nostalgic throwback to Internet 1.0, updated for the mobile Web. The app is like an infinitely large house. Until the app developer has fixed the problem, try using an older version of the app. If you need a rollback of Facebook, check out the app's version history on Uptodown. It includes all the file versions available to download off Uptodown for that app. Download rollbacks of Facebook for Android.
Of course, we've already spoken about the availability of Facebook for iPhone, both in Web-based and native download form. When I sized it up against its primary competition in the market, MySpace, it managed to convince me to give it a first-place start to MySpace's own iPhone application, which, while well-crafted and visually impressive in its own right, was a little too stuffy for my taste. (For perspective, the MySpace Mobile iPhone application currently sits at #15 among Apple's App Store's top free downloads.)

As of last evening, however, when Facebook introduced an update to its application, I must say I really can't imagine how I had come to think so highly version 1.0. Honestly. Version 1.1 is clearly what should have been there at day one. I mean, really. To think I considered 1.0 a treat....
The best way to describe the 1.1 update is that it is pretty much everything what Facebook amounts to without third-party applications. The important stuff, anyway. Yes, Status updates are there, just as they were for the debut of the App Store. And the mobile Facebook Chat feature was and remains a nifty item to have in your hand. You could also have looked at shortened versions of friends' profiles and emailed back and forth among your contacts. Still, it is only now that the application comes full circle. How so? Pretty simple, actually.
Now there are options to view your wall and the walls of all your pals. And write to them. You can also view users' photo libraries (as you've been able via the website served to iPhone owners for many months already).

These may seem like such basic additions. Sort of 'duh, why not?' But though they are what comprise the core of what makes Facebook such a popular social platform, they weren't in evidence the first time around. Facebook has become one of the preeminent photo hosts on the Web, and its users' activity on their personal walls and mini-feeds is so extensive, yet Facebook decided to keep them out ‘til the download's second week in play.

It's only sensible that these options be available in an application built for a device often described as the benchmark for smart smartphone computing. In fact, looking back now, it seems a bit bizarre to think the biggest functions of 1.1 were absent 1.0.
