Facebook Talks Up iOS 8 Updates

It was yesterday that iOS 8 was released to the masses, and hence it makes perfect sense for developers to talk about how their apps would fare in light of the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. Facebook did not shy away from the subject, and the social network giant intends to introduce more updates to Facebook in the weeks to come, letting it feel right at home on your iOS-powered device (iOS 8, that is).

First of all, Facebook for iOS 8 will boast of an improved experience for those who would prefer to share content from other apps to Facebook. All that you need to do is to tap the share icon and choose Facebook, where you can also opt to share a link to a website from your browser, photos or videos from your camera roll, and content from other apps.

Facebook for iOS 8 will also have updated its share screen, making it look rather similar to what you right now can view on the Facebook app itself. This means you determine whom you would like to share your life with, in addition to being able to add a location, mention just what you’re doing, or just to tag friends. I am quite sure it will also be able to let you build new “moments” as mentioned yesterday. [Press Release]
