The best advice that we can give to all Facebook users who enjoy getting access to all the latest features and bug fixes is to enroll in the beta program. Since Facebook is the world’s biggest social media platform, then it should come as no surprise that the developers of the app are constantly rolling out new updates and beta users are always the first ones to get their hands on them.
Since we are talking about beta updates for Facebook, then we should mention that a brand-new one has been recently released. Therefore, today we are going to cover everything there is to know about this new Facebook beta update and also present a short installation guide for the APK version of the update.
Facebook 226.0.0.42.120 Beta Update
First off, the new update is being rolled out via official OTA (over the air) channels to all beta users. The update should pop up in the notifications panel any minute now under the 226.0.0.42.120 beta version number. In addition, the new update aims to improve the overall performances of the social media app by introducing a handful of software tweaks and bug fixes.
APK Version
As we have previously mentioned, the update is also available in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). This means that Facebook users who don’t want to enroll in the beta program can also manually download and install the update in the form of APK.
This is a special type of updates and in order to install it, all Facebook users will first need to head over to their smartphone’s Settings panel and then enable the “Unknown Sources” option. In addition, APK updates can only be installed on Android-powered devices hence the “Android Package Kit” format.
