Android’s Facebook App Use Now Surpasses Apple
Facebook App Use
Google’s android is giving a tough competition to Apple’s iOS. With new
features in the Facebook application, Android is stepping ahead of iOS.
Applications are the main portion of attraction in smartphones nowadays.
Majority of the Facebook users spend most of their time in using Facebook
applications. In fact, smartphones doesn’t sound interesting without such
attractive applications.
In the year 2008, we saw the first Facebook mobile application for iPhone,
Apple. A year later, the social network company launched a version for
Android supported mobile devices. After that, iOS keeps on updating its
application to stay ahead in the competition and it also succeeds into that.
But according to the latest statistics by the independent application
measuring service – AppData, Android based Facebook application has finally
overtaken iPhone Facebook application in its daily users. According to
AppData analytical reports, the Android app had 58.3 million daily users on
17th December, 2011 while on the same day iPhone’s app daily users was
recorded as 57.4 million.
In general, Android is considered as the most used operating system
amongst all other available mobile OS. It is possible that because of the
latest update made in the Android facebook application, users are using it
more. This update has been made only before 11 days with faster features,
and easy navigation. It is always believed that users are more willing to use
the application when the user experience is faster and interface is easier of
the app. Moreover, on 15th December, 2011 Facebook also released the new
update feature useful to support the new feature of Facebook – “Timeline”.
But this feature was not updated till 18th December, 2011 on an iPhone app.
The war between Android and iOS platform is heating up nowadays with the
launch of new features and updates. It is expected that Google will soon
launch a music service for direct competition with Apple’s iTunes. Both
companies are competing too closely in the mobile arena.
Overall, there is lot to love about both mobile operating systems and it is
difficult to decide that which one is superior when it specially comes to
differentiate on the basis of their applications.
