Facebook app for iPhone updated, now featuring Places and background image & video uploading

Facebook has rolled out another update for their iPhone and iPod touch app, and with some disappointment — it is still not iPad compatible. That said, this latest update did bring some new and welcomed features. First and foremost, the Facebook app is now at version 3.2. As for the changes, those include some new features and well as some bug fixes.

The new features includes Places as well as the ability to set the privacy on individual status updates and the ability to see all recipients of inbox messages. In addition there was also background support added for photo and video uploads. The bug fixes are said to include issues with Notes, the News Feed and a delay when commenting on a post or posting a status update.

And while the background uploads are nice and the new privacy settings for individual updates are welcomed, perhaps the biggest addition came in the form of Places. This one is just what is sounds like, it allows you to check in to places. Which ultimately means more people sharing where they may be at any given time — but for those who care — this is set to share your location with friends by default.
