1. Shared Facebook Albums:
Instead of always nagging your friends to send you the lovely photos they took at parties and get-together’s, why not create a shared Facebook album, so they can upload their photos directly to it? Simply follow these steps and upgrade your photo-sharing experience.
2. Skype App:
Skype makes this big world of ours smaller with free video calls, but Facebook is usually where you and your friends spend their time. Now you can connect the two and enjoy the best of both worlds! Make your online video calls directly through your Facebook page. Add the Skype app to your account and start talking.
3. Interest Lists:
If you ever feel that Facebook is getting too cluttered for you, the “Interest Lists” feature can help you organize content in a convenient way. You can easily create and curate your lists, just follow these simple steps.
4. Photo Editing:
Facebook is where many people store their photos nowadays, but did you know that you can do more than just post your pics? With apps like LunaPic, you can edit your Facebook photos directly on your profile!
5. Nearby Friends:
Wouldn’t it be fun to know if any of your Facebook friends are in the neighborhood? Activate the Nearby Friends feature to receive push notifications to your phone whenever one of your friends has checked in to a location near you. Don’t worry, you can always deactivate if you feel like it.
6. Tag Friends in Videos:
Tagging friends in photos is pretty self-explanatory, but not many users know that they can tag friends in their Facebook videos as well. It works pretty much like the photo-tagging feature. Get all the details here.

Integrating apps to your account is one of the best features Facebook has to offer. With apps, you can add productivity tools, fun games or improved functionality options.
