Facebook has updated its iPhone app to version 3.5 and that's pretty darn significant. Why? Because on top of the usual pile of bug fixes and performance improvements, this update brings quite a few new features to the mobile application.
The updated application will allow you to tag friends and places in posts, share external links from a web view and use privacy controls which match those on the desktop version of the social network. You'll also find that the mobile versions of the profile and group pages have received a little bit of a design makeover and that the Notification bar no longer mysteriously disappears and reappears for no reason.
There still appears to be no cure for the app's tendency to crash at the most inopportune moments.
