Today Apple finally approved the Facebook 3.0 iPhone app in the App Store (as of this post it still says version 2.5, but it’s actually 3.0 if you download 
it). If you’re a Facebook user, you will like using this application. The main features of the Facebook 3.0 iPhone application include the ability to upload videos (iPhone 3GS users only), a built in web-browser, full photo management, and a lot more other features that were missing in version 2.5
Facebook 3.0 is still missing some features that I know many of us would like to see. Here are just some features it’s missing:
- Push notifications support – This is a huge one! Joe Hewitt, the developer of this application has promised to include this in his next Facebook 3.1 update.
- Videos - Facebook videos currently cannot be played, but YouTube videos can. Facebook will need to come up with a format compatible with the iPhone.
- Groups
What feature would you like to see when Joe Hewitt releases Facebook 3.1? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Facebook 3.0 iPhone App Released!
iPhone App developers: Do not use glossy chat bubbles in your App Store apps!
iPhone 3.1 Beta 3
AT&T iPhone MMS Update
flash games and flash FFS flash god damnit
My chat doesnt work dammit, keeps crashing
It’s interesting to say the least… Still not where it needs to be as stated in this article. :/ still a great app.
Really nice update add a lot of new feature!!!!
You need OS 3.0 to use it..
This sucks! Am I the only person using 2.2.1 still?
NOTES! Or does it have that… I’ve not updated yet.
Facebook 3.1 update should include being able to rearrange home screen icons
1. The old icon back.
2. A way to add new contacts. If this feature actually is there, it needs to be easier to locate because I can’t find it anywhere. Yeah, I can accept friend requests, but I can’t find new friends.
3. Get rid of shake-to-refresh and automatically refresh the app.
That’s all I can think of for now. I gotta admit, though. The app is finally usable. I always preferred using Safari because the app was so limited. Now I can do almost everything I want within the app, except adding new people.
You can rearrange the home screen icons… just like your iphone icons… try it.
Also… Mine keeps crashing when accessing the friends list… anyone else?
Find out how to stop the crash on the friends stuff… click my name to go to my blog..
I noticed that I cannot delete messages out of my inbox. There is no more edit/delete function.
Everything else I’d say is a pretty damn good improvement. Umm, video support would be cool too.
Would be nice to see comments of the events, but other than that it looks rather nice
is anyone else having problems with notifications? i keep getting a message saying notications can not be loaded. i tried re-installing the app… no luck.
Any idea if Joe said when the 3.0 fix was come n out(3.01)
in FB Inbox…swipe your finger over the message to bring up the delete button just like in mail
i would like to have groups
I think they did an “ok” job. Definitely better than the last one.
A feature to add to 3.1 should be the
option when the app starts to go to the home screen and not the last page u were on
