On June 28, Facebook announced an Android application test today, according to foreign media reports. In this project, Facebook will make the latest version of Facebook apps available to users willing to participate in the test before it is widely available.

Facebook's Android main screen app, launched earlier this year, had a dismal initial response. In Google's App Store Google Play, the app received a star rating of more than 10,000, most people do not like it.

Fortunately for Facebook, the future of its new project may be able to bring improvements to home.

In the project, users will be registered to see the latest version of the official Facebook application and automatically provide feedback to the company, and Facebook can use feedback to make improvements before it is widely available. For early adopters, the advantage is being able to take the lead in seeing the latest updates for a popular application.

Currently, the test project is intended only for official Facebook apps, not for Messenger, Camera, Instagram, and Facebook home. But according to Mike Shaver, head of mobile engineering at Facebook, the project could eventually Maik Chavers to home.

Asked about the test project for home, Chavers said, "Don't talk about future plans, but we can foresee that it will also benefit us." ”

Industry insiders think that's a good idea. Facebook said the early home performance was bad because it deliberately pushed it to the selected devices on the market. Normally, only pushing a product to a few people at a time helps to better control its quality and the required updates.

The problem is that the home product still feels like a beta version, and users will of course complain. If Facebook develops the test project to home in the near future, it may be less critical of its early launch of the new version. Or maybe people just don't like the Facebook phone, no matter how long they've been in the test. (
