On Android, the mobile application is available for download via the Android Market as version 1.5.3, and can be found here.
One of the main features that were included in the new release would be the fact that users can tag their friends when updating their statuses.
Those who would like to tag their friends would simply have to type “@”, followed by the friend's name.
In addition to this enhancement, the application also comes with a series of minor bug fixes, as well as with the option to add one's phone number to the profile. A new “Find Friend” feature was included into the mix as well.
Those who would like to try out the Facebook for Android app would be able to download it for free.

A series of performance enhancements were included into the mix as well, such as faster and smoother moving between screens and scrolling.
