"Facebook iPhone App Tips and Tricks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Change Your Cover Photo on the Go\nYou can now change your cover photo from the mobile app. Head to your profile and tap on your cover photo. You have the option to snap a new pic, or select one from your iPhone's Camera Roll.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Chat Heads\n\nOne of the most popular features of the new Facebook mobile app is chat heads, which provide a new way to message friends.\nWhen a friend sends a message, a small bubble with his or her profile pic appears, and you can move it around the screen while you're browsing elsewhere in the app.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. See Friendship\n\nWith the new app version, you can see your friendship histories (which you've been able to do with the web version for some time).\nGo to a friend's profile, click the box and arrow icon at the top-right of the screen, and choose \"See Friendship.\" Here you'll be able to see your shared information and interactions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Delete a Post\nHow to delete posts when using the mobile app isn't very obvious, but it's very simple. To delete content, tap the small arrow at the top-right of a post and choose \"delete\" (or \"Hide From Timeline,\" if you only want it to disappear from your profile).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. See Your Friends' Birthdays \n\nThe Facebook app doesn't flag birthdays in the same way the site does, but you can still view your friends' birthdays.\nSelect the \"Events\" option from the main menu. This will display birthdays on the current day, the following day and the rest of the week. Keep clicking \"See More\" to see birthdays further in the future.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Put Facebook in Your Dock\n\nIf you access Facebook often using your iPhone, add the app to the dock so you're a tap away, no matter which screen you're on.\nTo do this, first remove an app from the dock. Press and hold any app until all the icons start wiggling, then tap and drag the unwanted app out of the dock area and tap and drop Facebook in.\nOnce you press the home button, your changes will be saved.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Manage Your Alerts \n\nCustomize how you'd like Facebook alerts to display, or stop them altogether, in the iPhone's \"Settings\" menu.\nOpen \"Settings\" and select \"Notifications.\" Scroll down to see your \"Notification Center\" and tap \"Facebook.\" (Note: Facebook may be under \"Not in Notification Center.\")\nYou can now choose your preferred style of alert (which requires an action to remove) or banner notification, which disappears automatically. \nThis is also where you can turn alert sounds on and off, and choose to display the number of new actions over the Facebook app icon.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Manage Your Push Notifications\n\nPush notification settings used to be in your iPhone's main settings, but they can now be managed within the Facebook mobile app itself.\nIn the main menu, go to Account Settings &gt; Notifications &gt; How You Get Notifications &gt; Mobile Push.\nHere you can choose exactly what kind of events you'd like to get push-notified about.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Sync Your Contacts \n\nWith iOS 6's increased integration with Facebook, you can sync your friend information with your iPhone contacts, directly from your phone's settings menu.\nIn Settings, go to Facebook and sign in (even if you're already signed into the app). You'll get a warning that signing in will sync your Facebook info into contacts (including profile photos), but you can toggle this on and off later.\nYou may need to enable Facebook permissions in your Contacts settings.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Send Stickers in Messages\n\nA fun perk of Facebook Mobile's latest iteration is stickers -- a variety of large emoticons you can send in messages. When you're messaging a friend, select the smiley face next to the text box and make your pick.\nIf you'd rather poke your friends instead (hey, you never know), it's still possible. Follow the same directions in slide three, but select \"Poke\" instead of \"See Friendship.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 13, 2013: This post has been updated to reflect changes in the Facebook iOS app.\nAs you'd probably expect, Facebook's iPhone app is extremely popular, with more than 750 million users accessing Facebook mobile on a monthly basis.
