For any webmaster, who uses either Google or Yahoo as their main search engine, Facebook Touch Searches is a very welcome application. The application will function as the previous main application of Facebook, but now the feature will be with the interface and graphics. The regular Facebook application runs quite a bit slower on the platform, but with Facebook Touch, a mobile user will be able to fully utilize it smoothly even in a poor internet connectivity situation. Here are some of the things that we have to look forward to with Facebook Touch Search.
The most obvious new addition to Facebook Touch Search is the integration between the mobile number login process and the desktop sign-in process. Now whenever you are done entering your mobile number, you can simply tap on the “Search” button located at the top right corner of the mobile number entry area. In the previous version of the application, the same process had to be done while logging into the desktop. When you were signing in to the desktop, the login process would be interrupted when you were prompted to insert your mobile number. This caused quite a number of inconveniences especially for those who used multiple social networking accounts.
The first new feature with the Facebook Touch Search is the ability to log into Facebook using a mobile number from anywhere. This means that anytime you feel like logging into Facebook using your mobile number, you do not have to go to Facebook’s mobile site and log in through your mobile number. Simply tap the “Log in” button located at the bottom right corner of the mobile number entry area. You will then be prompted to log in to Facebook. With this new version, you can continue with the Facebook login process while entering your mobile number.
The second major improvement is that the Facebook Touch Searches now integrates with the Google search engine. The integration allows the users to browse through different social media sites by simply entering the social networking site’s URL. For instance, if you are logged in to Twitter, you can search for something specific such as “teams” or “sports.” If you are logged in to Facebook, you can use the touch search to search for news or anything that has to do with the latest updates. The enhanced Google search results feature will help you get relevant results in just a few clicks of the mouse.
The third improvement introduced in the Facebook Touch Search is its speed. It is able to connect with the fast internet connection on most of the mobiles devices such as iPhones, Blackberry, Android phones, and various others. This feature makes it more convenient for you to perform the download without facing any problems. However, the speed issue on some of the mobiles units may be a problem if you are using the slow internet connection.
The fourth improvement is the introduction of the Facebook search app. You can start your day browsing through the top search results even if you are on a very slow internet connection. The new Facebook search box includes different options such as latest stories, latest reviews, weather, news, sports, videos, and images among others. The new window also allows you to go directly to your friends and connect with them through the touch app.
The fifth improvement is the compatibility of the apps with the latest version of the smartphones. We all know that the smartphones are not updated at regular intervals. This means that the apps become obsolete after a short while. There are cases where the Facebook Touch Searches is not compatible with the latest version of the android mobile phones. Some users have faced problems such as the opening of the Facebook app on their smartphones. Thus, you need to update the applications to make them compatible with the latest versions of smartphones.
Finally, there is one more change that has come in the recent versions of the Facebook apps – they now include the feature of allowing you to get an access token. This is a security token that can be used by the system to make sure that the person who uses the internet connection has permission to do so. The token can be granted or denied depending on how the user behaves on the social network platform. If you don’t have an access token, you will not be able to log in to the application. However, if you have an access token, you will be able to enjoy the advantages of the advanced Facebook features such as the news feeds and the latest version of the wall posts.
