Facebook for iPhone Updated with Bug Fixes and Stability Improvement

by Simon Ng on January 10, 2009



Facebook is one of my most frequently-used applications on iPhone. The interface is simply great. Sometimes, I find Facebook on iPhone is even better than the web counterpart. The only complaint is its instability. It’s not uncommon to experience application crash and sometimes, the page just fails to sync. Today, Facebook updated its iPhone application to v2.1 with lots of bug fixes and stability improvement:

  • Fewer Crashes
  • Timestamps are now correct for all timezones
  • The sync takes a much shorter time
  • Scrolls to the newest message in an Inbox thread
  • Loads longer Inbox threads faster
  • Eliminates friend duplicates
  • Fixs bugs that caused pages to go blank

The update is now available at App Store. You can download it on iPhone or via this iTunes link.

@Nick & Frank,

You need to upgrade your firmware to 2.2. The latest version of Facebook now only supports this version of firmware.

@vikram, to use the latest version of Facebook, you need to upgrade your iPhone to iPhone OS 3.0.
