Facebook Updates iPhone App With New 'Places' Feature

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.
