You could supposedly deal with notifications from the old homepage, but in truth, it was a feature that never seemed up to scratch. Both notifications and friend requests now appear on the homepage. The features are nicely integrated into the app, so there&#8217;s no browser breakout, and pending notifications are cleanly displayed and easy to deal with. It&#8217;s a huge improvement.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>events notification<\/strong> is an especially nice feature, dividing events and birthdays up by today, tomorrow, this month and the future. When you look at a category, you&#8217;ll see details of these events &#8211; or the age of your friends &#8211; displayed cleanly and clearly, so you&#8217;ll never have an excuse to miss your friends&#8217; big days.<\/p>\n<p>The new homepage is brightened up by a bar of <strong>browsable pictures<\/strong> at the end of the page. While it&#8217;s hardly a life changing feature, it does make things a little prettier, and for that, we&#8217;re not complaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook for Android has just updated to 1.3.
