The official Facebook app for Windows 8.1 was released only a few minutes ago, finally providing adopters of the modern operating system with an easy way to control their social networking account with ease.

Basically, the Facebook app has been designed to help you post messages and stay updated with what your friends are doing without even closing the Modern UI, so it’s aimed at both desktops and tablets.

With Windows RT support among its key features, the Facebook app seems to be more like a basic tool aimed at those who don’t want to do more than post messages and chat with friends.

Unfortunately, there are no user account settings, so whenever you wish to change something about your profile, the app automatically launches the browser and connects to your Facebook page.

Still, yet another eagerly-awaited app has arrived in the Store, so have a look at the photo gallery below and let us know what you think in the comment box after the jump.
