The official Facebook application for Microsoft’s mobile operating system has been finally updated to version 5 for the owners of Windows Phone 7.8 devices as well, after receiving the same treatment on WP8 a few months ago.

The full version of the application is 5.0.3.0 and it's already listed in the Windows Phone Store, yet no specific info on the latest enhancements added to it have been provided.

However, a recent post on WMPoweruser notes that the main enhancement in the latest release is the addition of support for WP7.8.

The application is available for download for free for all users with an overhauled interface when compared to the previously available iteration on pre-Windows Phone 8 smartphones.

It delivers better performance capabilities, improved navigation, support for multiple resolutions and tile sizes, and more.
