Timeline for iPhone

 

So Facebook Timeline for iPhone is finally available and it comes at a great time as so many have already fallen in love with the new Facebook Timeline as it has been making a major presence on many profiles across the network.  As one that has been playing with the Facebook Timeline for developers for months, I’m also a fan.  Although there were definitely some memories that I really didn’t want to relive, the nostalgia was very warm in this 21st century digital scrapbook.

So lets take a look at the display, settings, and capabilities of the Facebook Timeline for iPhone.

Facebook Timeline for iPhone | Differences

So the Timeline has been available for iPhones for a little way, but only if you accessed it through Facebook’s mobile url (m.facebook.com) or through the Safari browser, however now you can download a new version of the Facebook iPhone app where you will be able to view a version of the Facebook Timeline for iPhone that is somewhat similar to the one that you’ve been using on your browser.  However there are some differences in the look, here’s what Mashable had to say about that in their review of the Facebook Timeline for iPhone:

It’s not quite the same as what you’ll get on a desktop browser, where instead of two columns of posts that you get in that larger view, on the mobile version they’re stacked on top of each other. Even so, you can still chronologically scroll through your life, and after you’ve gone through a month’s worth of items, it offers you a selection of the next month or previous years.

Besides that, the app feels slightly snappier, as Facebook mentioned in its release notes. An iPad version of this update not available yet, but Facebook says support for that is “coming soon.” The iPhone version is now available for download from the Apple App Store.

So all of you iPad users will still have to use the browser version of the Facebook Timeline for the time being until they update that verso, but don’t worry, we’ll let you know as soon as its available.
