The
Facebook Home Screen as the lock screen is a trending concept among
various smart phone users. This concept is not available only for the
android phones but is also extended to other operating systems also.
However, recently Facebook has unleashed a home update exclusively
for Android that allows the Android lock screens to be seen with
other social media support like Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc.
This
is a very exciting feature that actually makes users convenient to
have one tap solution to all their social media woes. Now with
facebook home lock screen featuring all other non-facebook updates
like Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest the users are carried to a new
level of social networking. The users can efficiently view the
notifications on their home screen itself from all the above
mentioned social media websites.
Not
only these, the users can efficiently have the full fledged features
like liking the posts or sharing it with just one tap on the home
screen. However to view the full content, you must click on it which
will lead to opening of the web browser where you can view the full
content and you can comment, share from there too.
Facebook
Home is the software suite that originally came packaged in one
undesirable package which is now accessible in bits and pieces. One
component is that the lock screen also known as Cover Feed, proffers
smartphone users a mainly photo-centric, berated and panned version
of the conventional facebook News Feed. This smart phone versatile
experience for android users has become the crucial point of a novel
tactic designed to triumph over detractors by slotting in content
ahead of Facebook's walls.
Although
Twitter is obviously missing, the Home update has additions of
Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, and even Flickr might go an elongated
way in exerting
a pull on group
of users who primarily sniggered at the thought of Facebook all the
moment.
The
app still performs in the same manner like the previous lock screen
update that is available in other operating system too, replacing
your recent lock screen with a sturdy torrent of status updates and
photos from your Facebook friends.
What
was hilarious about this update is that since Instagram is now
supporting ads you will be seeing those ads too on the facebook
newsfeed which is really annoying at times.
These
are the various changes that have been updated to the Home Update.
- Users will now be able to use the Home app just as their lock screen or as both their lock screen and as app launcher
- The app launcher is updated
- Users can now see photos and posts from Flickr, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr on their lock screen.
- They can like those posts with a single tap.
Although
many users consider this as a welcome change, many of the users still
feel that this concept is complex and over loading the home screen.
The previous update and set facebook as lock screen option is other
operating systems like windows just randomly displayed the photos
from your facebook which was colorful and impressive. This on the
other hand is divisive and not very much accepted. At the same time
there are set of users who think this as a welcome change and
appreciate this.
However
to know exactly this new update will be a breeze or boon depends upon
how users feel after few weeks of using it and also depends on the
number of downloads done. The social network (Facebook) also said it
has many plans to embed more and more services in the future.
