We’ve been waiting for this for a long, long time. Finally, the wait is over. Facebook has released an update to its mobile app for iOS and Android that brings in some much needed additions. Care to know what all is in store? Here’s a sneak peek: Tag friends, Share posts, Emoji icons .. Oh yes, you read it right.

The update, Facebook v5.2, finally lets us tag our friends in posts, comments and statuses. The ability to tag friends from the mobile app is one feature users have been longing for. Simply hit ‘@’ in a comment or post and your friend list will appear.
