Facebook appstore incoming.

 

[navanman]

Looks nice and pretty in the press/stock photos.
Will look messy as hell with the average users timeline photos.

"Turning people into apps."

The People App on my Nexus 4 does this. Unfortunately Facebook cock-blocked Google a long while back and Facebook status won't show up in contact's card. Though there is an app to circumvent this.

 

[Divvy]

Cool, my phone can look like page after page of shitfaced people.

 

[darkwing]

wow this is ingenious I might say

 

[bob page]

I'm not really sure what's going on in this image:

 

[snacknuts]

I'll give Facebook credit here, in the sense that this is the first thing they've announced in awhile that they weren't simply copying from another social network.

 

[Wario64]

I'm not really sure what's going on in this image:

Notification center pretty much, but with people icons instead of some Facebook icon

 

[Zeppu]

Last thing I want is my own face as an appdrawer shortcut constantly on my homescreen on my phone.

I'm not really sure what's going on in this image:

Looks like a messy version of WhatApp with fanart in the background.

What's the the photo caption at the top then? Are these notifications just an overlay to whichever screen you're on?

Damn.

they are copying from HTC

 

[buhdeh]

lol... having your own face on your home screen at all times

 

[LyleLanley]

What's the the photo caption at the top then?

The caption for the photo in the background.

 

[Vanillalite]

As stated before stuff like this always looks baller with high res stock photos. Then you get to someone's ACTUAL FB feed and well you know how it'll end up.

 

[whytemyke]

Will there be a way to automatically track and destroy baby pictures from my timeline?

 

[darkwing]

Cool, my phone can look like page after page of shitfaced people.

I only accept friend requests from beautiful people

[snacknuts]

Ch... Chatheads?

 

[bob page]

New messenger looks great at least.

 

[Fatalah]

Chatheads is sweet.

 

[panda21]

i wonder how this works, with the chat heads and stuff.

that seems like the kind of thing you would need a custom rom or root to do?

 

[LyleLanley]

Chatheads is an awkward name but kind of a neat feature.

 

[Lkr]

I'm not really sure what's going on in this image:

Zuckerburg is Siri

 

[Volotaire]

It's up you Adam!

Well portraits are now round like Google's, I have doubts that was intentional given the time, but you could argue that.

 

[Buddha Beam]

Finally, a George Takei app!

 

[Vanillalite]

Except Chatheads doesn't work with other services so your SOL. Current FB Messenger can already incorporate text messages.

 

[navanman]

Gareth Bale?

 

[buhdeh]

Whoa chat heads is pretty cool

 

[Deleted member 80556]

This looks great, save for the fact that not everyone has handsome or beautiful friends with high quality cameras.

 

[mightynine]

It's a good thing I make sure to select FB friends by whether or not they are followed at all times by someone with a high-end Nikon.

 

[panda21]

wow it seems like it would be super easy to accidentally like something

 

[Fatalah]

Hey, "delightful" is MATIAS' word!

 

[MMBosstones86]

This all looks great.

Until the rest of us use it and its pictures of food and babies. fuck that.

 

[kaskade]

I just want a damn app that works well.

 

[darkwing]

welp, time to prune out my facebook friends then

 

[Fatalah]

Chatheads is an awkward name but kind of a neat feature.

Yeah, it's a very literal naming convention... like 'face book'.

 

[LyleLanley]

I'd rather take that than pictures of shitty quotes.

 

[Zeppu]

It really is a shame that my friends aren't all incredulously beautiful people doing exciting and interesting things under perfect lighting and surrounded by professional photographers with SLRs.

 

[Little Old Man]

I just want a FB app that is quick, responsive, and to not have every other update being a janky mess that crashes 1/3 of the time I start it up.

 

[mightynine]

Also, if you've liked a company, would this mean your Android Homescreen becomes a mobile advertising device?

 

[MMBosstones86]

I'd rather take that than pictures of shitty quotes.

brofist.

Looks smooth...but this is something I do not want on my phone. At all

 

[Nero3000]

No start menu, will fail.

 

[edgefusion]

It seems really built around the idea of constantly displaying the kind of beautiful, striking photography that nobody takes ever.

 

[TTOOLL]

you're not alone, bro

 

[dskillzhtown]

Will there be random "sponsored" messages that pop up on your screen from time to time?

 

[buhdeh]

what a hideous keyboard (yes, i know it's swiftkey)

 

[giga]

Chat heads is interesting, but I'm not sure how well it will work since many of my contacts don't have a Facebook or I'm not friends with.

 

[LyleLanley]

Chatheads stay there constantly even after you've replied? That could get annoying.
