Facebook For iOS App Is Now 2X Faster: Quicker Launch, Photos, Feed, And Built-In Messenger

Facebook For iOS Update"It's slow" no more. Facebook answers one its top complaints today with the release of v5 of its iOS app that's two times faster because it's built on Objective-C not HTML5. The navigation is mostly the same, but the app launches, photos load, and the feed shows new stories twice as quickly in the new app that is rolling out to the App Store over the course of the day if you don't see it already. Content is cached between views, all the features of the Messenger standalone app are now built in, a drop-down "new stories" banner alerts you to fresh news feed content in real-time, and a Facebook for iPad app update lets users view Timeline. Facebook's iOS mobile product manager Mick Johnson tells me that "We feel the pain points [regarding slowness] pretty harshly ourselves...so this major update to the Facebook for iOS app is focused on one thing -- speed."
