Now you can log out of chat with Facebook for iPhone and iPad, support for iPad Retina display
Facebook for iPhone and iPad had been updated and now allows users to go offline in chat. Before, users would have to go offline from the web if they wanted to be offline on their iPhone or iPad. Most users have been asking for this improvement for quite some time, so it's great to see Facebook respond.
Facebook has also fixed several of the most annoying bugs that have been rampant in the app, and instead of the mysterious "bug fixes" that Facebook typically includes in their update notes, they've actually listed which bugs have been addressed in this update:
- The right profile picture appears for everyone
- Your list of friends always includes all your friends
- In sets of photos, your name is displayed correctly
- Photos of people who like Facebook Pages load correctly
- Your friend-request notification only lights up if you have a request
Thank you, Facebook! The profile picture bug was the one that was driving me the most crazy, so I'm happy to see this fix. (Well, the day that my profile picture was Steve Wozniak was actually kind of cool). One of the most annoying Facebook bugs, however, is the one that doesn't initially display all the likes and comments on a photo when navigating to it from notifications, and it looks like that one wasn't addressed. Maybe next time.
For International users, Facebook has added language support for Czech, Danish, Greek, Indonesian, Malaysian, Norwegian (Bokmal), Portuguese (Portugal) and Thai.
Lastly, the iPad version of the Facebook app now supports the new iPad's Retina display.

RE: updated FB app for the ipad: Where did my business Page go? It is no longer displayed on the left side of the screen. Help, anyone?
Not available in the Irish App Store yet?
Still no Timeline on the iPad? Are they working back asswards over at Facebook?
Weird... Timeline is on mine. Just tap on my actual name (not News Feed) and there it is. The cover photo is small, though... and when I hit the little camera icon to update it, the app crashes.
Updated - via PC - Cover Photo to a high-res photo and all is good now.
share button?
You expected the "Share Button?!?!" How dare you. Everyone knows that's going to be in version 11.1.4.3.1486912
Chat offline/online - FINALLY!!
Now how about improving the search function on the iPhone? I can't even find pages that I liked before even when searching for them. And don't even try to find a person you're not friends with but with a gazillion mutual friends on the iPhone - it rather displays anyone with the same name from the other side of the globe! In the web version search works much better.
