The Facebook app on iOS devices allows users to see what their friends are up to on the social network. They can share updates, photos and videos too. In addition to that, they can get notifications each time a friend comments or likes their posts. Then there is the ability to initiate group messages. They can also play games and use their favourite apps.

The app was updated to version 5.6 in March; it gave users the ability to update their cover photos on the go. iPhone users can now take a new cover photo or pick one from their gallery.

Facebook claimed that with the update, it would take lesser taps to start group messaging. Those looking for group conversations were in luck, too, as the update made it easier to name and find group conversations.
