Facebook update: new presentation and iPad compatibility

You may have noticed this when checking your
updates this morning, if this is not the case, know that an update of
l’application Facebook (ici
on the App Store
) appeared last night in the App Store.

The first excellent news is the finally arrival ofthe
iPad version of Facebook, we talked about it here on VIPad.fr
and you seem
appreciate it. But that's not all since the update also concerns
the iPhone, here are the main new features:

A side panel accessible with a button located at the top left of the screen
makes its appearance. It allows for much more pleasant navigation.

On the menu:

  • Navigation: You can send a message from any
    screen, see your notifications wherever you are and browse Facebook without
    lose where you are in the news feed
  • Games and apps: Access your favorite apps and games, where
    that you are
  • Bookmarks: your groups, pages and applications appear in the menu
    on the left, with the ones you use the most placed at the top*
    Search: you can find everything on Facebook, people,
    applications, pages, etc., without getting lost
  • Security: fixes and improvements

Some of you are reporting application crashes after
update. It seems that uninstalling and reinstalling the app
fixes the problem (thanks to TitNico).
