Facebook iPhone App Adds Recording and Sharing Video

Facebook updated its iOS app Monday, adding the ability to record and share videos from the app as well as the ability to send voice messages.

Voice messaging was previously released as an update to the company’s Messenger app. Often a place for the social network to try out features with power users before releasing them to the public, it looks like voice messaging was a hit, and is now being rolled out to the masses in Facebook’s main app.

Monday's update also added access to your device's camera, so you can send along a photo or video clip to your recipient as well.

If you want to share a video clip with more than just one person, video clips can also now be recorded and shared from directly within the app.

The Nearby feature got a bit of an update Monday as well, with a new streamlined look and more information about what’s located near you based on Facebook’s Knowledge Graph.

Facebook's updated mobile app is available now for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch from Apple's App Store.
