Apart from the larger image upgrade, Facebook
has slightly updated the mobile browser version of the Facebook
ecosystem. The upgrade is likely to come to apps for all platforms very
soon. The latest upgrade is currently announced for mobile Facebook
users only, while the desktop browser version of the social network has
the same interface.
“When it comes to viewing photos, we
think bigger is better. We've begun increasing the maximum size for
photos on Facebook by almost 20 percent to 720 pixels to give you higher
quality photos and make viewing them more enjoyable,” says Facebook in a
blog post.
“You'll start to notice the larger size as you upload new photos to
Facebook or browse new photo albums from your friends. Older photos will
remain in the previous maximum size of 604 pixels.”

It is believed that Facebook's new features are inspired from Instagram, which was acquired by the social networking giant last month.
Facebook recently rolled out new
features to its applications. Its messaging application received eatures
such as location from where the message originates and “read receipts”,
an acknowledgment that friend has seen a message.
