Facebook app for iPhone brings VoiceOver support for visually impaired users

Facebook app for iPhone now brings VoiceOver support to assist visually impaired users. You might be aware of the facebook app for iPhone or more specifically the Facebook for iPhone 3.0 app which went live during the last week or back. At the time of launch, it did not have VoiceOver support. Yes I am talking about the voice and keyboard service for the visually impaired people that Apple provides. Well now it is the part of the newly released facebook app for iPhone. An interesting change I say, and one that is sure to please people having vision problems. This news was tweeted out by the developer of the app, Joe Hewitt.

The features that this latest app brings include:

1. The “new” News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen

14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
