Facebook Home<\/a> gets a little more usable today as the launcher replacement for Android<\/a> integrates content from Instagram<\/a>, Tumblr<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a>, and Flickr<\/a><\/strong>. One of the biggest downfalls of Facebook Home was that it only offered up Facebook content. That’s fixed now with this latest update.<\/p>\n

The update lets users view and interact with photos from their Facebook Home lock screen. Functionality is a bit limited as you can only post to and “like” photos from the lock screen<\/strong>. In addition to integrating new services, Facebook Home lets you block non-photo updates so you can just have a photo stream.<\/p>\n

It’s clear that Facebook wants Home to replace the lock screen of every Android device<\/strong>. By adding more services, there’s definitely more of a value proposition for users but time will tell if that’s enough to help Facebook Home catch on. Hopefully Facebook will add more services in the future.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

In order to get the update, you’ll have to be part Facebook Home’s beta program<\/strong>, which tests experimental builds before rolling out updates to everyone. You can sign up to be part of the Facebook Home beta program here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
