The game was to be released on February 14, 2012, but appeared as a playable version on February 13 as a beta release. The app received a level-update on February 29 and March 29. Powerups originated here.

Rovio and Facebook have collaborated in the past to add extra bonus levels to several Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons episodes.

Mobile
There is also a mobile version for Angry Birds Friends. It has 6 weekly levels and was released on May 2, 2013. Click here to learn more.

Game Play
The game is similar in most ways to the classic Angry Birds game, but with some notable change allow players to target better, fly longer, and create more damage, but the game can be played without the use of power-ups. ]]s to play, gift Power-ups to one another.
 * Social Media aspects allow players to invite friend[[File:923026_10151719747034928_439231790_n.png|thumb|App Icon
 * Angry Birds Shop allows players to purchase Power-ups and usage of the Mighty Eagle for their own use or as gifts to other players.
 * Avatars allow users to customize a bird icon for their profile.
 * Bird Coins : These are coins that are given as rewards by winning stars on Weekly Tournament Levels and placing in the Top 3. These came in a update for Angry Birds Friends on February 4th, 2012. You can use these coins to purchase Power UPs, Mighty Eagles, Avatars and Costumes, and Wingmans.
 * Wingman also came in the new update for Angry Birds Friends. You can use this character in weekly tournament levels, only. Terence, dressed up as this Superhero, will help you deal more damage in those Weekly Tournament Levels. Special Superhero Effects like "Bam!" or "Pow!" included when this hero deals damage! But just like any power up in the game, Wingman is limited, so use wisely, or buy more if you have enough Bird Coins. (Note: In Wingman Tournament update. You can use Wingman every levels.)

Episodes and tournaments This game consists of three playable levels, two of which already existed in the classic Angry Birds game.

Mighty Eagle
The Mighty Eagle is included in the game and functions the same as it does for the Classic game, Rio and Seasons. The one change is that, as with the Power-Ups, the Mighty Eagle has limited uses and additional usage must be earned or purchased through the store.

Social Media
Angry Birds Friends utilizes the social media nature of Facebook in three key areas:
 * What are those crowns in my level selection screen?
 * A crown is a visual indicator of your rank among your friends. A gold crown means you have the highest score of all your friends who are playing Angry Birds on Facebook. Silver and bronze crowns are rewards for second and third place respectively. You can see which levels you hold a crown in, in the level selection screen.

Avatars
On February 11, 2012, Rovio introduced a link via the Angry Birds Facebook page for users to create a customized Bird avatar. The customizations included a crown, cowboy hat, pirate hat and sombrero, a long with three types of sunglasses and an eye patch. Users can chose between Red, Chuck, Female Red Bird, The Blues, Hal, Bad Piggy, Bomb, Terence, Matilda, Super Red Bird, Egg, Stella & Bubbles as their customized avatar (only the first three are available for free). A cryptic message about defending the egg with a large flock around a golden egg with a crown can be seen on the site, implying this may have something to do with the storyline of the game.



Avatars were officially released on the site on March 14, 2012 with the launch of the "Bird-O-Matic" tool with several additional items to add to your bird, however most items have a cost associated with them. Additionally, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond backgrounds are offered in the Avatar section after completing a specific threshold of stars. 100 Stars will unlock bronze, 200 Stars will unlock silver, 400 stars will unlock gold, while 600 are needed for diamond.

Star Cup
See Star Cup.

Logo
The original logo for Angry Birds Facebook included the King Pig's three-pointed crown. However, on March 14, 2012, the logo was changed to include a less-specific crown.

In mid-May, the name has changed to Angry Birds Friends, The logo was also changed to Bomb, Matilda, Chuck, Red and Terence's silhouettes.

On May 2013, the logo has changed from the silhouettes to just a simple logo with blue rectangles surrounding the word "Friends" because of the release on mobile.

On 2016, the logo has changed.

Facebook Golden/Easter Egg Locations
On April 3, 2012, AB Facebook introduced Golden/Easter Eggs. There were 10 eggs. Here are the locations.

Trivia

 * Before the new update on February 4th, 2013, Weekly Tournaments are played at nighttime, but in the update, the background is played during the daytime..
 * Just two weeks after the new tournament update with Wingman, February 18th, 2013, another update to Angry Birds Friends updates rivals to the Tournaments, for those who don't have rivals to play against yet. Photos of Chuck the Yellow Bird and Red the Red Bird appear competing in the tournament as CPU rivals. Beat their high score and you're a couple steps closer to winning, unless there are Facebook User opponents.
 * Angry Birds Friends logo got been changed some days after the mobile version got been released.
 * Rovio announced on April 3rd, 2013, that Angry Birds Friends will be coming soon to mobile on iOS and Android device, making this the 6th Angry Birds game in the Angry Birds App/Game series, including its spin-off, Bad Piggies.
 * This is the second time that Female Red Bird appears. The first was in Angry Birds Seasons.
 * This is only Angry Birds game that is playable in Facebook. Other games with Facebook connect are unable to play in Facebook site.
 * Bomb and Matilda can now appear on the score leaderboard since the Movie and Own The Movie Tournament s,but they appear randomly.
 * There was supposed to be an Egg Bomb power-up where egg bombs with parachutes fall from the sky, but Rovio cut it, probably because it resembled Matilda's power too much.640px-New_Options.png
