If you haven't already heard, Facebook has updated it's app for the iOS. So what's new about that? Well, its now native to iOS using its resources to make twice as fast.
In building a native Facebook app for iOS, the company looked at improving three key places, "the app's largest pain points" all relating to speed: launching the app, scrolling through the News Feed, and tapping photos inside the News Feed. "We're twice as fast in all these areas," Johnson says.
The new update is available now. Facebook (App Store)
===================================================
The other story is about FaceTime over cellular data on the AT&T network. Back in June, it was announced that FaceTime will no longer be bond to just WiFi, but would be able to used over cellular data.
Then last week, AT&T gave a bit of clarification that the new feature will be included with the Mobile Share plans at no extra charge, but not available for other plans.
AT&T will offer FaceTime over Cellular as an added benefit of our new Mobile Share data plans, which were created to meet customers' growing data needs at a great value. With Mobile Share, the more data you use, the more you save. FaceTime will continue to be available over Wi-Fi for all our customers.
So that means, if you're grandfather into AT&T's unlimited plan and was looking forward to using FaceTime, looks like you'll have to revisit your plan and make a few changes.
Just yesterday, AT&T confessed that it's network can not handle unchecked FaceTime over cellular.
We are broadening our customers' ability to use the preloaded version of FaceTime but limiting it in this manner to our newly developed AT&T Mobile Share data plans out of an overriding concern for the impact this expansion may have on our network and the overall customer experience.
