Facebook for Android
The Facebook app on your phone lets you keep up and stay close with your friends
in Facebook. It offers most of the features that you are familiar with when using
Facebook on your computer.
With the Facebook app, you can:
Share your thoughts and check other people’s status updates.
View your friends list and write on someone’s wall.
Comment on and like a friend’s post.
View someone’s personal information, including photo albums.
Check your Facebook notifications.
Take a photo and upload it straight to your Facebook account.

What’s the difference between Facebook for Android and Facebook for
HTC Sense?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People,
Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information
about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos)
in these apps.
Facebook for Android is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the
things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser
to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending
Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for
HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook for Android app and vice
versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to
sign in to both using the same login credentials.
