In addition to updating its Android app, Facebook pushed an update to Facebook for iOS on Thursday.
Version 5.3 of the app includes a faster –- now native -- timeline, as well as a faster loading news feed.
The most important feature in the update, however, has to do with photos rather than speed. Now when you upload photos to Facebook through your iOS device you can select an album for those photos to go into. A feature already available in Android, album functionality is something iOS users have been without since the app’s launch.
The company recently made the decision to move from HTML5-based apps to native applications.
Both Facebook’s iOS and Android apps are now on a regular update schedule, with new features and updates rolling out every 4-8 weeks.
You can download the updated version of Facebook for iOS now in the App Store.
