Facebook today launched a major update to its iPhone app, Facebook 3.5, bringing the mobile experience for groups and walls closer to privacy controls, onscreen navigation and UI enjoyed by users of the desktop Web version.
The new Facebook update for mobile now allows you to tag your friends and places in posts, and makes link-sharing much easier.
Facebook is the most popular app in the iTunes App Store with more than 102 million users more than a year ago. This number is sure to have grown considerably in the last year, now that Facebook boasts more than 750 million registered users.
