Facebook is the official Android app for the iconic original social network par excellence. Once again, this app is here to simplify your Facebook experience by providing all your favorite features from one spot.

Essentially, this Facebook app has the same features as its original browser version. The only main difference you'll notice is that you can't play Facebook games on it.

That said, gaming aside, you'll get all the same updates from friends and family, browse your timeline, upload and save photos, change your status, and comment —the whole lot from anywhere.

One of the best features of this official Facebook app is the option to share all kinds of content. You can upload photos and videos straight from your gallery directly onto your account.

Facebook for Android is truly a must-have app for anyone that's pretty active on the world's #1 social network. Albeit, it does come with a single (but significant) setback. You cannot access your Facebook direct messages from this app, but rather, you'll have to go the extra mile and download Facebook's fully independent Messenger app (also on Uptodown) in order to check your Facebook messages from your device.

Keeping up with friends is faster and easier than ever. Share updates and photos, engage with friends and Pages, and stay connected to communities important to you.

Features on the Facebook app include:

* Connect with friends and family and meet new people on your social media network
* Set status updates & use Facebook emoji to help relay what’s going on in your world
* Share photos, videos, and your favorite memories.
* Get notifications when friends like and comment on your posts
* Find local social events, and make plans to meet up with friends
* Play games with any of your Facebook friends
* Backup photos by saving them in albums
* Follow your favorite artists, websites, and companies to get their latest news
* Look up local businesses to see reviews, operation hours, and pictures
* Buy and sell locally on Facebook Marketplace
* Watch live videos on the go


The Facebook app does more than help you stay connected with your friends and interests. It's also your personal organizer for storing, saving and sharing photos. It's easy to share photos straight from your Android camera, and you have full control over your photos and privacy settings. You can choose when to keep individual photos private or even set up a secret photo album to control who sees it.

Facebook also helps you keep up with the latest news and current events around the world. Subscribe to your favorite celebrities, brands, news sources, artists, or sports teams to follow their newsfeeds, watch live streaming videos and be caught up on the latest happenings no matter where you are!

The most important desktop features of Facebook are also available on the app, such as writing on timelines, liking photos, browsing for people, and editing your profile and groups.
