Facebook: Android app adapts to your smartphone’s performance

Today Android has the largest share of users worldwide. And Facebook understood that. Android device owners are arguably the primary targets for the company, which aims to convince more and more users every day: represents half of the social network’s billions of users.

The problem is that Android is unfortunately not the easiest operating system for developers to work with because there is a wide variety of devices running on this OS, with completely different features and also different OS versions.
