Google Android users can now benefit from a new Facebook application, offering a number of the features Apple iPhone users have become accustomed to.
Those who access the social networking website through the Android can scan their news feed, comment on status updates and hit the "like" button.
Facebook members can also view their friends' walls and other information, as well as take and upload photographs and set their own status updates.
Up until now, people accessing the popular social media platform through Google Android had to use a Facebook Lite version, which offered limited features and was widely viewed as being more difficult to navigate.
Earlier this week, music sharing resource Spotify was made available as an app for both the Android and iPhone.
It is free to download, but members of the music streaming service are required to pay £9.99 a month to use it via their phones.
Gustav Soderstrom, director of portable solutions for the firm, described the development as "a hugely significant day in Spotify's short history" and said users can now access its music wherever they want to.
