In rapidly moving towards a SaaS (Software as a Service) model, there will be some real challenges for firms that are still operating with
older and
sometimes unsupported
versions of various applications, but also functioning under earlier releases
of Windows and other operating systems, As new features and functions are added, they may only work on the most current
version of the OS and so there may well be additional costs in first upgrading the OS to take advantage
of updated or completely new
apps — particularly, as support starts diminishing for outdated OS.
Since the
app is essentially a web wrapper for the mobile browser
version of Facebook with Android sharing intents and notification features baked in, the stability and speed fixes in question are likely per - device tweaks for devices that are commonly detected using the
app, especially lower - end and
older devices that may
sometimes crash or experience slowdown in otherwise normal operation.
