Facebook for iOS updated with new photo features and improved loading times for events

Facebook updated its iOS app today to make saving and sharing photos easier. The app recently saw a significant performance boost alongside the addition of Chat Heads, so this release is more of an iterative move than a splash maker.

Also on board are performance improvements, especially when it comes to loading events. Facebook has become the de facto social event planner, so it’s good news to see a previously-slow feature significantly quickened. You can also make edits to Places check-ins, a little-used feature that Facebook is trying to grow out.

The main improvements here, however, are to do with photos. When clicking on a photo, users will not see three dots at the bottom of the screen. This lets you share, save or report the photo, a much-requested addition.

Facebook also changed the app’s icon on iPad and iPhone, with a chrome ring around it, though we’ve heard it was altered by mistake and will be reverted to the old version in due time.
