Great news for Facebook-obsessed Android users: The Facebook for Android app has received a nice little update.

As Phandroid reports, version 1.5.3 of Facebook for Android is available now and finally brings the tagging feature to Android devices. This means that you'll have "the ability to tag your friends in status updates. Just as on the desktop equivalent, typing '@' and a name will bring up a list of friends to be hotlinked from the status."

On top of that, the app brings a bunch of bug fixes as well as the Find Friends feature (which allows for easier searching).

Facebook for Android is still as free as ever and available on the Android Market.
