Facebook 4.0 doesn’t support friends list
I was very excited when I heard Facebook for iPhone 4.0 was out. So, I installed it right away on my iPhone 4. It didn’t open, so I had to remove it and install it again, then I turned off my iPhone and turned it on, just for sure. Now, it opened, and I could enjoy the beautiful new design. However, I realized that there was no friends list on it. Friends list mode shows news from only certain people that you included in the list. I have around 500 friends, and I usually only read news feeds of certain number of friends. Without friends list support, I would have to go through news feeds of people I barely know a lot. So, I had to delete it again, and reinstalled the old version from my laptop.
I think it’s sad that Facebook does not include the friends list support on the new version. They remove not only the custom friends list, but other list like close friends and aquaintances that Facebook introduced recently. They dropped the friends list in the past, but restored it after negative reviews. I hope they will understand their mistake, and reintroduce it again soon.
Update- I downloaded 4.02, and I found friends list. It’s not on the side menu, but you can choose it on the Newsfeed page, which is confusing, because if you access Facebook on safari app, friend list is on the side menu. Anyway, I am glad to be able to use friends list.
