Chuong Nguyen —  04/19/2011

Facebook has updated its social networking app for the Android platform, which is now available as a free download or upgrade to version 1.5.3, that brings a number of improvements, new features, and bug fixes.

Chief among the features of the new version 1.5.3 is the abulity to tag friends in status updates. Now, you can write a wall post or status update and add a mention of your friend to that message by typing @name, where name is replaced with your friend’s name, similar to Twitter.

There’s also a find friend feature as well as the ability to now add your phone number to your profile from the mobile app.

    The beauty of Android that Customization is key, if one doesn’t want to use the widgets, one doesn’t have to. I am using Galaxy S and I don’t use the widgets
