Mostly bug fixes.

I saw this earlier. You can finally view Facebook video!

 

[macachia]

so everytime a video is tapped, the youtube app opens. After viewing the video, you have to manually close youtube and reopen facebook app?!

must be doing something wrong

Yeah, something tells me that's not going to happen.

Facebook's CEO is no Apple fanboy.

When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wanted a new phone, he decided to switch to the iPhone. Given the complaints that ensued, he might have waited for the iPhone 4.

NBC Bay Area reports that the CEO decided to switch to the iPhone because his BlackBerry was "hurting his thumbs."

Within a few days, the iPhone honeymoon was over. Zuckerberg posted a complaint to his Facebook wall lamenting the device's battery life and the dropped calls he had experienced.

"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls," he wrote.

[BConvery]

Got it, and.......fail.

Still shows no comments when if fact there are many. Pictures seem to work a bit better....

 

[big samm]

we can finally upload screenshots!! ;-)

 

[JCA90]

Anyone using the new update on iOS4? Because i'm seeing some weird graphic pops, i guess, like where you tap to update your status, or comment, it's kind of flipped inside out, and notifications for your inbox, and friends requests don't look right... Anyone else or just me?

 

[QuarterSwede]

It's about time. That one always perplexed me.

 

[carebearsx3]

Does it fix that annoying bug, that if you have more than a couple of new notifications, it only says there's only two new ones? Even if you really had like 15 new ones?

 

[macuser154]

No iPad version!

WHY?? Facebook need to get off their arse and make an iPad version!

I don't see the point...... the web version works well on the iPad.

 

[Fedorov]

I can't believe the lack of decent updates to the Facebook app on the iPhone - they'd make millions if they charged 99c for the app and actually put a bit more development effort into it - to release a version right now that has no mention of iOS4 compatible is beyond me....

except for the fact that you can't upload or post pictures... (the alternative being email)

now it seems like doesn't wanna clear your most recent notification. I have a red "1" badge that won't go away.

I guess you can't win 'em all

 

[Surely]

Fair enough. But that's not something I notice. I usually upload photos from my iPhone.

That's more of a mobile Safari issue than anything. You can't even upload attachments to this site on it.

 

[appleii2mac]

Not seeing the update.

No, that is a YouTube video. A Facebook video is one that was uploaded to Facebook. Facebook videos will play using the iPhone video player and return you to the app.

I'd certainly pay $0.99 for a functional facebook app. If only it were half as functional as Twitter for iPhone

I really doubt Facebook would ever charge for the app. They aren't going to put up barriers to entry for their website. Anyways, I think the problem is they devote almost zero resources to any of their mobile apps. I highly doubt the issue is they don't have the money to fund development. Why they choose to ignore mobile, I have no clue. Personally, I think that is a huge mistake but Facebook seemingly doesn't care about mobile atm.
