And you may run into problems even if you’ve upgraded to Windows 8.1, as senior Microsoft editor Mark Hachman has yet to coax the Facebook app into actually downloading onto his Surface, though that may just be opening-day server jitters. The Facebook app’s apparent Windows 8.1 exclusivity is another bummer-it isn’t appearing in the Windows Store on my Windows 8 machines. That’s a major disappointment, seeing as how sharing links is such a major part of the Facebook experience. If you see an interesting tidbit in the modern version of Internet Explorer 11 (or any other modern app), you can’t open the Charms bar and seamlessly share it to Facebook. Again, however, the exact look can vary depending on the Snap ratio you use.įacebook for Windows 8.1 lacks one crucial Microsoftian feature, however: Share Charm integration. Pinning the app to the side of the screen ditches the side panes to focus on your news feed, with the “three horizontal lines” options button familiar to users of other Facebook mobile apps appearing in the topmost tray. While the look of the app definitely screams “Facebook,” it also oozes Microsoft’s unique modern UI style, with sharp edges and tiles galore. Composing a new message brings out a right-side pane.
