A beta version of Facebook for Windows 10 Mobile devices was released earlier this year, but in order to be able to install it, users had to change the region to make it show up in the store.

Today, however, Facebook is officially releasing the Windows 10 Mobile client for all users, as it has finalized work on the beta, and the stable client is available for download.

What’s important to know is that Facebook for Windows 10 Mobile is an iOS ported, so you’ll get the exact same features as on iPhones. And this is a good thing after all, given the fact that Windows 10 Mobile and Windows Phone users have often been left behind by developers bringing only some features from Android and iOS on their devices.

Facebook, however, hasn’t ported its client from iOS to Windows 10 Mobile using Project Islandwood, which is Microsoft’s very own set of tools created specifically in this regard, but with Osmeta, a platform that has the exact same role and that is developed by the social network.

This is once again welcome news because pretty much every single update that Facebook makes to the iOS client can be brought easily on Windows 10 Mobile, so users on the platform should always have a fully up-to-date client that lacks no functionality when compared to clients on other mobile OSes.
