Facebook released a big update to their iOS app today, delivering several bug fixes, some enhanced features, and a few stylistic tweaks as well. But, before you ask, the answer is no; Facebook did not release an iPad version.
This update is pretty significant on its own, though. According to Facebook, it is now easier to control how your share through the app, as the update includes the ability to tag friends and places in posts, the ability to share external links from a web view, and improved privacy controls on posts that actually match your settings on the web site.
The improvements and bug fixes are much appreciated as well. With this update, Facebook claims to have improved Notifications speed, fixed a number of Chat bugs, made it easer to select filters in News Feed, fixed a number of Photos bugs, and, of course, improved performance and stability overall.
But what about the iPad you ask, again? Well, not today. In fact, this iPhone developer states that the update removes iPad support completely. Don't despair, though; at least one site is floating the rumor that the long-awaited Facebook iPad app will be released on September 22. Which is about 18 months after the iPad was released, but who's counting.
