Facebook for iOS (pictures)
by Jason Parker
The new version of the app is incredibly fast, and will make Facebook users much happier to use the app to get the latest friend photos and updates.
 |
| Photos now show a much cleaner-looking caption, along with elegant thumbs up, comment, and tags buttons. |
 |
| When viewing photos on the iPad, you won't have the horizontal navigation strip at the bottom anymore, but a quick vertical drag gets you back to the folder. |
 |
| Instead of closing the photo to go back, you can now swipe up or down to continue to browse a folder. |
 |
| You'll now be able to browse Timelines just like you do on the Web site. |
 |
| A new banner across the top shows you how many new stories you have; you can simply tap to update. |
 |
| The new update is not a laundry list of new features, but the speed increase and UI tweaks make it into a must have. |
 |
| A new feature in version 6.0 of the app adds Chat Heads, small friend icons that give you easy access to conversations while you browse other parts of Facebook. |
