Facebook denies talks with Apple to bring Home to iPhone, brings Chat Heads to iOS
Posted date: : March 3, 2013
Bloomberg reported recently that Facebook is having conversations with Apple about launching an app for iPad, iPhone and iPad Touch.
The Next Web, on the other hand, reported that Facebook had not talks with Apple about launching Home for the mentioned devices. It is most likely that Facebook may have just demonstrated the app to Apple.
Mark Zuckerberg, however, has expressed his urge to make Facebook Home available on iPhone. A poll conducted on uSwitch showed that 80% iFans do not have a strong urge to have Facebook Home on their smartphones. For the remaining 20% users, Facebook has added a new feature called “Chat Heads” to the latest versions of its iOS app.
For those who do not know anything about Chat Heads, this feature allows you to have chat with many friends at a time. The good thing is that you can also do many others tasks on your phone while chatting. Unlike Android versions, this feature is available in the Facebook application and has not SMS integration.
