Facebook 3.0 iPhone App Arrives at the App Store

Tweet

Announced last month, the Facebook 3.0 app for the iPhone is finally ready for download at the Apple App store. Using Facebook on your iPhone has never been better as the new application format is almost similar to the one you use normally on your PC. Do not be hassled if you find the 3.0 Facebook app listed as the 2.5 for that is the version showing up at the store but it is indeed the latest one.

“You may have to search for Facebook on the App Store and install it directly. I know it still says 2.5, but it will install 3.0″ said Joe Hewitt, the app’s designer.

You can now “like” a friend’s status, which, though is usual stuff, was missing from the Facebook apps thus far. In case you are using the latest iPhone 3G S, you will get the privilege of uploading videos directly form the phone to your account. Too bad, but we’ll still have to wait for the push notifications to be available — maybe in Facebook 3.1? Another missing feature is the availability of the Landscape mode and support for watching videos directly, without the need of uploading them.

Could that mean that we should be in for a Facebook 3.1 iPhone app sometime soon?
