Facebook beta for Windows Phone 8 has been updated to version 5.2. The beta helps Facebook test new features and get user feedback. It’s a great way to see the future of Facebook on Windows Phone 8, although the app may be more buggy than the official release.
For Facebook beta 5.2, the social network has added the following features:
- Faster and more reliable notifications
- Toasts for Facebook chat
- Redesigned primary tile
- Redesigned secondary tiles for chat, events, groups, pages, and photo albums
- Messaging improvements
- Performance improvements
- Support for additional languages
There’s still no word on when or if Chat Heads are coming to Facebook on Windows Phone 8. The app is still missing the incredibly popular Stickers that are found on the iOS, Android and web versions of Facebook. Many users still complain the app is slow compared to the iOS and Android apps. While messaging has been improved, it’s still not as instantaneous as on other platforms.
