Another problem as well is people do not update their apps, which I suspect occupied quite a bit of discussion. I could see this becoming quite the headache when operating at the scale of facebook.

I wonder if the mobile space (asking out of complete ignorance) has an example similar to Chrome's automatic updates. But I guess given the amount of bandwidth that goes into regularly updating mobile apps, I am not sure people will opt for it.

  You can mark an app to auto-update on the google play store for Android. It's opt-in by the consumer

  Android is now supposed to do updates with binary deltas rather than full reloads, which should help a lot with the bandwidth issue.

Facebook may put announcement (or that sort) in their app to let people know that they should upgrade.
