Facebook Makes Photos Larger & Faster

Facebook is always upgrading (so they think) their systems to something better.  This update might actually be something that is beneficiary.  Facebook is rolling out with a new version of their Photos app.  This app will increase the load time of each photo and make each image larger.

Facebook’s Justin Shaffer has this to say:

Now, the photos you share on Facebook are bigger (720 pixels to 960 pixels) and load twice as fast, giving you quicker access to more detailed images.  Photos you’ve already uploaded to your profile will also be displayed at this higher resolution.

Facebook’s new updates don’t stop here.  They are rolling out with a revamped photo viewer.  This new view of looking at photos will take up more screen real estate (since photos are now larger) and reduces clutter to the eye so you can focus on the individual photo.

The light box is now set against a simple white background that puts more focus on the photo, and less on the surrounding frame.

Do you like all the new updates that Facebook is rolling out with?  Do you prefer to look at a photo with the black background or white background?  Leave your thoughts in the comment section.
