Facebook Beta app for Android received a new update introducing notifications on the lockscreen a new feature found on Android L. Facebook Beta introduces the ability to display notifications of the app directly on lockscreen that are quite similar to those found on Android L – that we remind you to have been released as a developer preview and may differ considerably from the final version.
Notifications of Facebook Beta for Android on lockscreen do not require version L to work since it seems that the compatibility is extended to at least Android 4.4 KitKat. However, you can also try to check whether the notifications work on older versions of Android.
The application Facebook Beta is obviously on a different channel from Facebook for Android posted on the Play Store, because in the Beta program are introduced and tested a preview of some new features that are then improved and implemented in the stable version of the application via an update.
To have the opportunity to test the new features of Facebook Beta, you will need to access the Google Group Facebook Beta, press the button “Become a tester” on Play Store and download the app from the same page and join the Facebook Beta group to give your feedback.
