You can add friends to your lists from the News Feed as well. Simply select a friend's name, wait for the pop-up box with their information in it to appear, select the Friends box, click Add to another list, and click the list you want to add them to.
While you can't create friends lists in the Facebook mobile app, you can use any friends lists you create in the mobile app once they've been created.

When you select a friends list to use on a post, it will become the default for subsequent posts until you change it back.
