Unfortunately for you folks with iPads, no official iPad app is within sight yet. If you’ll remember, an unofficial Facebook app for the iPad was discovered back in July, hiding within the existing iPhone app. Facebook attempted blocked quickly after discovery, but it continued working for most people. This update completely killed the hidden app. Nobody knows if this means an actual iPad app is coming out soon, or if it just means Facebook finally got everything in control after more than a month.
