Facebook announced this afternoon that Android and web users will now be able to edit status updates after they have been posted, meaning you can finally cleanse your status update masterpieces of careless typos without losing your cherished likes, comments and shares.
The new feature should be live on the web and Android versions of Facebook later this afternoon, but iOS users will have to wait a short while before it hits iPhones.
Over the past few weeks, plenty of leaks and rumors have surfaced, suggesting that Google is planning to launch its latest version of the Android operating system, KitKat, along with the ‘Nexus 5’ next month. And now, as if confirmation was needed, a comment has been made on the official German KitKat Facebook page confirming that the new OS will debut in October.
When Apple introduced Photo Stream to iCloud back in 2011, the Cupertino company made it incredibly quick and easy for its users to share their favorite photos with their friends and family without syncing them to their computer first. But Photo Stream has a downside, and that is that it’s only available on iOS.
Fortunately, there are plenty of awesome alternatives with cross-platform support, and one of those is Kicksend. Not only does Kicksend let you share photos with friends — regardless of the smartphone platform they choose — but it also lets you print and send real photos to those who don’t have a smartphone at all.
Facebook rolled out a new beta version of its Android app today, introducing a simple feature that we’ve been waiting for for years (literally!) — the ability to edit posts and comments after you’ve published them. The beta also allows you to use icons in status updates, create and share new photo albums from your phone, and more.
Twitter is the latest company to jump on the Android beta testing bandwagon, by allowing a small amount of users/testers access to a new version of its official application prior to its official release on the Play Store. The social networking giant is implementing Android’s new beta program in an effort to minimize the possibility of releasing buggy updates to its users.
