LABS GALLERY: Updated App Improves Facebook Experience on iPhone
Update Available
Facebook for iPhone app Version 3.01 includes landscape mode, photo and movie (on an iPhone 3GS) capabilities, and better handling of news feeds.
Home Screen
The app provides easy navigation with an updated home screen.
Nav Control
In the upper right you can see the grid icon to open the Facebook for iPhone app home screen.
Roller Barrel Interface
I used the new roller barrel interface to select which updates I wanted to look at. The concept is cool, but many times I accidentally made the wrong selections due to the the small selection area and bad action in the roller selection.
Notification Favorites
It’s now possible to add favorite friends and pages to the notifications screen.
Landscape
All aspects of the Facebook for iPhone app can now be viewed in landscape mode.
Upcoming Events
It’s now easier to view and manage upcoming and past events.
Make Profile Picture
Users also can now manage profile pictures from the iPhone Facebook app.
