Seeing the introductions in the lately updated version of Facebook for iOS owners has us convinced that there is no end to the company’s ventures when it comes to extending the SNS’ services to masses from all walks of life. The best example for this is the Home app, which may be a novice in the market, but it is rapidly paving its way into more devices than just the HTC First.
After collaborating with the Taiwanese manufacturer, the social network has turned its attention to Apple, only this time it will not be crafting a device from scratch just to broadcast the features of this utility. Instead, iTunes has already welcomed the app’s functionalities in the form of an update.
Even though not every attribute spotted on Home finds its way into the upgraded edition, users can rest assured that Chat Heads will be present for sure. This feature serves as a messenger for as long as they are employing the app. It allows conversing with pals and folks, even when social networkers may be carrying out other activities like updating their statuses, commenting on a post or even checking their News Feed.
This seems to be the only attribute that both, iPhone and iPad users, will share on account of the revamped utility. Those who own the former have been exposed to latest stickers to spice up conversations. Since words clearly don’t do this addition any justice, take a look at the image embedded below to see what they actually look like.
And finally, Apple’s smartphone has been tweaked to include the newer layout of News Feeds, permitting people to explore on the basis of their preferences such as Music, Photos and more. Probably to justify the larger screen offering of the iPad, the company has presented the overhauled app for the tab with brighter stories.
Sadly, Chat Heads and Stickers for the updated Facebook app for iOS haven’t been made available to everyone just yet. But the company has vouched to roll it out soon. The upgraded 6.0 edition on the other hand, can be downloaded via the App Store now.
Let’s take a quick look at what’s new in this update:
For the iPhone
– Chat Heads
– New Stickers
