One of the most popular social network applications, Facebook has just been updated with three new options meant to improve users overall experience.

Firstly, the latest version of Facebook allows users to add photos and emoji to messages. In addition, users will now be able to share photos faster with a new upload flow. Last but not least, the update makes it easier for Facebook users to create events.

Keep in mind that this is a manual update due to the fact that the application asks permission to retrieve user’s location. This means that Android users will have to open Google Play Store in order to update Facebook app.

Facebook 1.9.8 is now available as a free download via Google Play store and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.2 and up. Check it out here.
