Why does facebook on windows phone not autocomplete friends ?

[WPCentral Question]

Hello,

I am using the facebook app on my lumia 630, but when i post a status, and mention a friend of mine, the app does not autocomplete the friend's name. I am new to windows phone, comming from android, and facebook on android did autocomplete friend's names when posting a status. Am i doing something wrong, or do i mis some kind of setting in the facebook app?

It actually doesn't even tag them when you put in there name, very annoying I know, I use m.facebook.com if I know I need to so this.

Both facebook and facebook beta apps auto-complete tagging and tag your friends without any issues. Not sure, how you are doing it!

Just try @friends_name

If you want it to auto complete a name, you simply add @ before pressing the first letter of the name

Thats's it. Old fashioned way.

Because wp is beta facebook.. Forever a beta?!

If you don't want to use @, then use facebook beta.

Facebook Beta autocompletes tagging friends. Also has photo comments etc. It's a little buggy still but the features are worth it
