Facebook released an updated app for Android devices Wednesday, with the changes making it much more like the social network’s iPhone app.

In a post on the official Facebook blog, the social network said photos and albums now load twice as fast as they did in the previous Android app, and sharing photos, viewing comments, and editing captions is easier.
