Facebook for iPhone users now have access to all the new features for in the official Facebook for iPad app. Now available in the App Store, the 4.0 update includes a major redesign of the navigation system that facilitates quick switching between features, and the ability to access third-party mobile apps.
The new features can also be found on Facebook’s mobile sites m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com, which can both be accessed from Android phones that have yet to receive native Facebook app update with the lastest changes.

4. Facebook App Stats
Statistics reveal that there is an
estimated 34 million active users of
the Facebook iPhone app in a month.
Facebook, which has more than 750
million users worldwide, divulges that
this is almost one-third of all iPhone
users. Facebook is free to download
from the App Store and frequently
makes the “Top 25” list. If you already
have the Facebook app and have not
yet updated to 4.0, be prepared for
some changes.
5. Main Features
Here are some of the new and updated
features:
• Universal application and therefore can
also be used on the iPad.
• Larger and more beautiful photos: Your
photos are high resolution and smooth-
scrolling, like a real photo album
• Navigate anywhere fast: just tap, scroll, or
fingers to move away from one screen to
the next
6. Main Features
• Play on the move and access all your applications
and your favorite games on Facebook, wherever you
are
• Do not miss: share photos, update your status or
sending a message without leaving the News
section
• Find out who is nearby: check the map of who is
nearby to see what your friends are doing
• With the improved search and
navigation, facebook.com functions you use most
often are at your fingertips. Facebook for iPhone is
now even richer and faster.
7. Main Features
• Applications and games: play and get access to your favorite
applications on the go
• Navigation: send a message or check the notifications from any screen
and scroll to navigate on Facebook without getting lost in the news
• Bookmarks: your groups, pages and applications are in the menu on
the left, with the most useful ones at the top
• Search: Find what you need on Facebook - people, applications, Pages
and more - without having to click or change display
• Security: Facebook added updates to make the application more
secure
8. Splas
h
You will notice right away the there is a new
splash screen upon starting the app. You will
have to enter your login information if your
starting the new version for the first time but
should only have to do this once, unless you log
out.
(To log out, go to „Account‟ at the very bottom
of the home menu. Once you click account a
menu you pop up with your account settings,
privacy settings, help center and lastly, logout.)
9. News Feed
The news feed hasn‟t changed much.
Main Menu (this is new)
Friend Requests
Messages
Notifications
All Stories brings up a scroll menu where you can choose
from all stories, status updates, photos, links, pages,
events, videos, acquaintances and groups or networks that
are specific to each user.
10. Home Menu
The hub of the Facebook app is the new menu, which
offers the same information from the last version simply in
a different orientation. You‟ve got your categories on the
left which expand from right when clicked. This interface is
much more sleek and user friendly.
To access even more Facebook features you can open up a
bookmarks sidebar and quickly view and select things like
your friends list, groups, events, apps, and games.
Although apps and games are selectable here, they can't be
run from within the Facebook app and you'll need to
download then run a separate app or game on your iOS
device.
11. Message
s
Accessing your messages has never been easier using the
new menu system. It has new options at the bottom, first
one being your messages, which will also display your new
and unread messages. Other displays messages from
groups or individuals you may have „liked‟. Online gives
you a list of friends that are online and available to chat.
12. Photos
When browsing your own or someone else's photos you
will now see them in a grid-view so you can view the
photo you wish to view, which certainly makes it feel
more like the desktop version of Facebook. If you are
looking at your own photos you also have the option (+)
to add photos into the current folder.
When you tap on a photo you will notice a new layout
system on the photo, everything is more like the
desktop version where „Like‟ & „Comment‟ have their
own separate buttons. Unlike the previous version where
you just had one button that took you to the comments
and you could „Like‟ & „Comment‟ from there.
13. Photos
If you tap the button on the top right hand corner you
will see these options. Some of them are only available
for you own photos. These options are much simpler
than the previous app version and it‟s great that they‟re
all in one place.
14. Chat
There are still some things about the Facebook app that
need improvement. For instance, the chat option can be
somewhat confusing. You can open a chat window and text
people, but then these also show up in your message
inbox, which can be a bit bothersome. Hopefully Facebook
will work out kinks.
Chatting on the iPad-optimized version is much more
comfortable than on the iPhone, because chats appear in a
sidebar on the left of the screen, allowing you to continue
viewing the rest of Facebook at the same time.
15. Facebook 4.0
If you‟ve got an iPhone and have never had the
Facebook app, now is a great time to jump
onboard! If you are just updating from a
previous version, I think you will really like
what Facebook has done. 4.0‟s interface is
much more user friendly and straight forward.
