Facebook upgrades photos with larger sizes, makes them load twice as fast

Social networking giant Facebook is to increase the resolution of photos that people post to its website and will load them twice as fast as before.

As photo sharing is proving to be one of the main battlegrounds in the social networking war, Facebook announced that the resolution of displayed photos would now be 33 percent wider, with a variable height.

The new features will be available to users over the next few days.

The changes come the same week that Facebook said it will allow users pre-approve having their names attached to a photo posted by a friend before that photo appears on their profile.

The tagged photo will still appear on the friend's page and could show up in the news feeds of common friends.
