2 major updates for Facebook for Android app (Beta)

A new Facebook for Android updates brings you updates to the pull down  notification window,  previously not available on the Android ecosystem.  The new feature lets you quickly access notifications for new friends, profile activity and new messages with a flick and a tap. One of the most anticipated desktop features is finally here for mobile, the ability for users to reply to comments with a picture from the camera or from the gallery.  Sadly this feature is not available for business pages at this time,  only on personal profiles. While I think it takes precious real estate from the notification window the pull down features comes in handy if you want to quickly glance at your notifications and see if is the message you’ve been waiting for.  I’m not sure how I feel to have Facebook constantly in my notification screen, since the app already consumes a lot of battery, I’m wondering how much more power this new feature will consume.
Tell us what you think of the new feature on the comments below.
