The update (version 1.8), announced today, means Facebook is far easier to navigate on Android, an app which has been reported as lacking in the past, and has more similarities to the iOS app for Apple. 

Messages and notifications are now at the top of the screen and Droid’s can respond to friends and stay updated without leaving their current page.

News feed, groups, games and apps are now on a new, left-hand side menu.

Uploading are now twice as fast to upload than the old version and “it’s also easier to share photos, view comments and edit captions on the go,” Facebook said on its blog.
