Today Facebook app for iOS gets updated to version 6.0 bringing a lot of great new features for iPhone/iPad and iPod Touch, and as Facebook promised us from a few days ago. Facebook 6.0 finally lands on the App Store bringing new features such as Chat Heads borrowed from Facebook Home for Android, a redesigned user interface on the iPad focused on the new News Feed which was announced in March, stickers in chat windows and more.
“Chat Heads and stickers will be available to everyone over the next few weeksâ€.
There, it’s a staggered roll-out, you’ve been warned…
Check out the new Chat Heads and chat stickers on a pair of screenies top of post.
Now you can keep chatting even when you’re doing other stuff on Facebook, like checking your News Feed.
The feature works so easily, just tap on any message you want to reply to. You can drag them around or flick them down to close.
Also one of the new features that Facebook added is the stickers (As shown above) And if you want to send a sticker to any of your friends just tap on the smiley icon. Some stickers are free and others can be purchased in the Sticker Store revealed upon tapping the basket icon.
This is the new News Feed layout on an iPhone.
And here’s how it looks like on the iPad:
At least it no longer looks like a blown-up iPhone interface, no?
