Facebook for Android Updated with In-Status Friend Tags

Facebook has updated their Android app, slowly rounding out their mobile portal with features we have enjoyed on desktop browsers for some time now. The biggest addition in version 1.5.3 is the ability to tag your friends in status updates. Just as on the desktop equivalent, typing ‘@’ and a name will bring up a list of friends to be hotlinked from the status.

Additionally, the Find Friends feature has been added for easier searching and you can now add your phone number to your profile, allowing other friends on Facebook mobile to call you. Other bug fixes abound, but we still await the day that Facebook will cease to needlessly bump us out to the browser when navigating to certain items.
