It is noteworthy that Facebook chose the Android OS as the basis, deciding to go in a simpler way, without creating its own OS, which was spoken about by the media. It simply replaced the Android home screen with the Facebook Home branded shell, which gives users direct access to the latest news and friend statuses. Notifications are displayed directly on the home screen. You can also reply to the posts of friends.
Separate attention deserves the system Chat heads, which is a chat that allows you to exchange messages not only through a social network, but also using SMS messages. When new messages arrive, the user's head is displayed. Most likely, this is why the messaging system is called Chat heads.
As mentioned above, new photos, recordings, statuses and news of friends are displayed on the home screen. With the help of a double click, you can put "Like" to a specific entry, and with a single click - comment. In Facebook Home, it is also worth noting a separate page for the favorites and the application bar on the right.
