Facebook for Android updated to v1.2 – now with messaging support

Facebook for Android, which isn’t great but gets the job done as long as you’re not a pro-level Facebook user, has today been updated to version 1.2 – bringing with it more advanced support for messaging that FINALLY lets users access their Inbox and Notifications.

The news of the update was announced, appropriately enough, on the App’s official Facebook page – where users are already giving their feedback. It seems to be crashing quite a bit for HTC Hero / DROID Eris users, and isn’t the sort of feature-packed change people were hoping for.

We’re yet to receive the update, so you’ll have to make do with these rather old promotional photos sent out by the developer to illustrate a previous release.

Bizarrely, Facebook is the one site that’s actually easier to use in a web-based interface – the site’s custom touchscreen portal is super-slick and much more workable than the rather basic Android app.
