Social networking giant Facebook has released a major update to its app for devices running Apple Inc.'s iOS operating system. The update includes new features along with tweaks to the interface, according to a description of the app on Apple's App Store. It said that the app, now on version 3.5, packed new features such as:
- The ability to tag friends and places in posts - The ability to share external links from a web view
Facebook said the updated app is a 7-mb download available in English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. It is compatible with Apple Inc.'s iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 3.0 or later. A separate article on tech site CNET said other new features include improved sharing options, tweaking the design of both Profile and Group walls, and added privacy controls on posts that match the settings one makes on the Web site (http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-20102384-12/huge-update-released-for-facebook-ios-app/?tag=cnetRiver). On the other hand, the update also includes bug fixes that result in faster notification speeds, bug fixes for Facebook chat, changes to filter selection in the News Feed, and tweaks to the notification bar. Improvements to performance and stability were also made in the updated app, CNET said.
