Why facebook,Lumia camera are not supported for Lumia 550?

[SampathKumar-mobilefan]

I have been using Lumia 550 since a year from now.By default it came with facebook installed.But in the store it shows facebook is not compatible with this device, but why is it optimized only for high end devices?.What about the facebook app supported for all range of devices (win 8.1 phones).And why Lumia camera is not supported for this device?.




OK.Due to less number of users facebook app is not focused for mobile users nowadays. What about Universal Windows app concept ? .Why they hesitate to make it suitable for mobile phones?.

Does anyone clear me this?

Facebook stopped allowing Microsoft to make their apps. The current Facebook and Instagram apps essentially run in an emulator of iOS. That way Facebook only makes one app for iOS, and then they bring it to other devices with the emulator.
The emulator requires more powerful hardware though, since it isn't optimized for the individual devices. They don't bother optimizing it for low-end devices since they tend not to sell as well.

Facebook doesn't make an iOS app scaled for desktop (obviously) so there's a specially designed app there.


Lumia Camera is now the default built-in camera app on Windows. You already have it, it's not a separate app.
