sincity Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Facebook has released a new version of its iPad app, introducing a new sidebar that encourages users to check out popular games and trending news topics. The latest update, which is available to download now, adds a column on the right side of that screen similar to the one which on the Facebook.com web browser site. As well as games and news, users will also see calendar events and the weather within the sidebar. Facebook said the update is being made to provide content relevant to how people use tablets today. 70 per cent are Facebook gamers? According to the social network, 70 per cent of all iPad owners used their tablet to play a game on Facebook over the past three months. While those stats would be surprising, if true, it makes sense that Facebook would hope to capitalise by pushing titles from its developers, rather than users going elsewhere to download games from the App Store. The update appears to be US-only right now. Let us know if it's appearing at your end. Buying guide: Best iPad Air cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
