Along with a Playbook Tablet OS update, expect a FaceBook for PlayBook update as well. The Facebook for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet app has been updated to include:
- • Video uploading
• Facebook Search enhancements
• Improved access to Pages
• Message deletion
• News Feed improvements
Read below for full details
Video Uploading
We think Facebook for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet users are going to love this new feature. Using the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet’s high-resolution video recorder, you can shoot a video and upload it on the spot, or select an existing video from your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet’s media library and upload it to Facebook. How cool (and easy) is that?
Facebook Search Enhancements
Facebook Search has been enhanced with a more intuitive access point and improved search capabilities. From the new Search icon on the Notifications Bar, you can filter your Friends list using the Friends Search, find that long lost childhood friend that you’ve been meaning to connect with using the Everyone Search, and even become a fan of your favorite band’s Facebook Page using the Pages Search.
Improved Access to Pages
A new Pages tab is accessible from the Friends list where you can view My Pages and Pages You Like and seamlessly link to them to view and interact with their Wall, Info, and Photos.
Message Deletion
You can now delete a Facebook message. Simply press and hold the screen until a delete button appears, and then tap the delete button to remove the message. (Note: Deleting a Facebook message from the Facebook for BlackBerry PlayBook app will also permanently delete it from your Facebook account, so use this feature wisely!)
Photo Upload Album Selection
Organization of your Facebook albums just got easier. When uploading a photo, simply select the album that you would like to upload the photo to.
News Feed Improvements
You’ll also notice that you can interact with your News Feeds via the More button to Like or comment on posts without having to leave the News Feed view. Extra convenience is a key focus in this update!
Options and Help Center
Lastly, we’ve removed the Options icon from the Notifications bar, but don’t fret: you can still access Options – as well as the Help Center and Logout button – by swiping down from the top frame of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet screen to reveal these options.
As we mentioned earlier, this update will become available for download from the BlackBerry App Worldstorefront over the next 24 hours, and is also included in the newest OS update for the BlackBerry PlayBook – v1.0.5. Be sure to check out this exciting new release – then come back and post a comment to tell us what you think!
