Quietly but with a major impact, Facebook has unexpectedly upgraded their iPhone Facebook app to version 3.5. This new version is a major update as it has fixed several annoying bugs, added new functionality when writing your status updates, allows tagging of photos and videos and updates your Profile and Group Wall design.

According to Digitaltrends.com, “in terms of straight functionality, Facebook says it’s ‘made it easier to share with who you want,’ which would appear to be in line with the recent stream of updates to its web version that come in response to Google+ and its popular Circles feature.”

As you can see in the image above, when you write a new status, there’s a completely new interface. You now have the option to tag friends OR places in a post, check into a place directly from the status window, upload a photo or video and now change your status’ privacy settings: by clicking the icon in the right corner, you can choose whether to share your post publicly, only with friends, or only with pre-made lists of friends.

You can also click on external links in-app and share those links directly to your Facebook friends (i.e. next time you see a Moxie Mo Show episode link, click on it with the iPhone app and it will open the external link and allow you to share it as well).

As you can see above, this is new view when visiting your profile or a Group page. Facebook for iPhone v3.5 has added these much needed features finally and overall, this update will improve stability and performance according to Facebook.

Overall, this update is definitely moxie and for a complete list of fixes and changes, please check out Facebook for iPhone app v3.5′s change log:
