After updating the Facebook app for BlackBerry 10 back in March, BlackBerry has now said that the new 10.2.0 version of the social networking app is available for download. The latest iteration of Facebook’s app will enable BlackBerry smartphone users to enjoy an improved social networking experience, as the Waterloo-based company has upgraded the new variant with several novel features like viewing, sorting and uploading pictures. Here is how Blackberry has described all the fresh features of Facebook app on its blog:

With the introduction of this new version of the Facebook app, BlackBerry users will not only be able to connect with their friends and family members on the go, but they will also be able to experience new features, which were already available on the Facebook app of other leading mobile platforms for quite some time now.
According to BlackBerry, users across the world who are using 10.1 edition of the BlackBerry OS on their handsets can now download the new Facebook app from BlackBerry World. The BlackBerry app store currently houses more than 100,000 apps and includes numerous popular applications, which were never offered by the Canadian smartphone maker before the launch of BB10.
Before the launch of BlackBerry’s new ecosystem, CEO Thorsten Heins and company claimed that they will make 70,000 apps available at the time of launch, which was not an easy task. However, Heins and his team worked really hard and finally managed to offer roughly 70,000 apps to BlackBerry users and since then they have added many more apps to the ecosystem.
