Facebook didn’t just make sure their app worked on 3.0… Oh no! They went back to the drawing board! Check it out after the break!
Facebook is one of the most popular apps in the app store, with over 25% of all iPhone users using it. Facebooks Joe Hewitt released more details on the new app today. It includes whole heap of new features like:
1. The “new” News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
Certainly some welcome improvements however Hewitt says that push notifications aren’t quite ready yet and will come in the summer in 3.1. No details on when it’s released however he says he’s 97% done.
