Facebook for iOS gets privacy settings

by Lee Mathews on November 15, 2010 at 08:30 AM

Users of the Facebook app for iOS can now access their privacy settings without firing up Safari. Following the update to version 3.2, you can tap the account button on the app's main screen to jump to Facebook's controls. The update also adds two-tap access to your Facebook profile settings and the Help Center -- also via the Web. As AppAdvice points out, native controls would have been a nicer addition, but at least the screens can be accessed without leaving the app now.

SWEET this means only 14 more months until it comes to the Android version!

I hate the native FB apps, they're patheticly behind the touch website.

This is a great example of specifically what people were talking about in the Win7 / YouTube post, and also about apps in general. They simply are not going to keep up with the main site-- even on iOS.

There are uses for apps, but replicating a more current touch version of a website across 3 or 4 or more platforms.
