Facebook 3.1 for iPhone
Today Facebook released a new version of their iPhone app brining it up to version 3.1.
They have also finally included a feature I have been waiting for, for a long time. Push notifications. As you can see on the picture you can easily customize for which events you want to receive push notifications.
It took them a long time to get it implemented but I’m happy it finally arrived. Push notifications however isn’t the only new feature.
There is also a new feature that allows you to sync your contacts with Facebook. Before you jump to the app and turn on this feature, please be warned. I’ve tried the feature today and turned on the “Replace photos” feature.
The app started replacing pictures on my contacts, which was to be expected. however it also put pictures on contacts that weren’t even on my Facebook. I’ve been reading some posts about this and apparently I’m not the only one having trouble with this feature. After turning the sync back off it removed all the pictures of my contacts. NOT cool facebook!
