Facebook Updates iPhone App With New 'Places' Feature

Posted August 19, 2010 at 12:38am by iClarified
Facebook has updated their iPhone app to support 'Places', a new feature which lets users check-in when they reach a new location.

Go to Places on the iPhone application or touch.facebook.com site and then tap the "Check In" button. You'll see a list of places near you. Choose the place that matches where you are. If it's not on the list, search for it or add it. After checking in, your check-in will create a story in your friends' News Feeds and show up in the Recent Activity section on the page for that place.

What's New In This Version:
New features:
● Places. Use Places to see where your friends are and share where you are.
● You can set the privacy of individual status updates.
● See all recipients of inbox messages.
● (iOS 4) Upload photos and videos in the background.


Bug fixes:
● Fixed a delay when commenting on a post or posting a status update.
● Fixed some Notes display bugs.
● Fixed some reliability bugs in News Feed.

You can learn more about the new 'Places' feature here or download Facebook from the App Store for free.

They have also added the beautiful 'pull up' to refresh like in the official twitter app! Love it!
