Tired of the missing functionality in the native Facebook application for Android or the way the application always throws you out to the web for many of it’s functions? Me too!
Facebook are working to make their native application to make it better and better with each new release. With the release of version 1.2, you now have integrated messaging into the main page of the application.
The make room, they have removed the Take Photo option and placed this instead placed an option for taking photos next to the “Whats on your mind? box.
Here’s a quick before and after shot of the Facebook application home page.
Here’s the new location for adding photo’s to you Facebook page:
It’s a step in the right direction, but there is still more functionality available at touch.facebook.com that many users feel should be in the native application. Come on Facebook! We need more.
Head over to the Android Market and get your update now.
Are you a Facebook junkie? What do you think is missing in the native application?

The new Android Facebook app is better, by degrees. It still has some way to go though. But at least we can be thankful that it is losing its webapp’ness. Its getting more usable.

Who really developed this app? The Facebook page for this app clearly states “This application was not developed by Facebook.”

But the Android Market seems to imply that Facebook is the owner. The updated app is an improvement, but I still usually use the regular Facebook web site in my browser.
