Notifications and friend requests are displayed at the top of the News Feed, mirroring the layout of Facebook's full browser site.

The app also includes a chat function so users can IM their Facebook friends from an iPad.

The iPad app displays Facebook friends using their profile pictures as icons rather than a list of names, as on the iPhone app and website.

Users can read messages by tapping the message headers on the left-hand side of the screen to bring up the message thread.

This layout allows users to jump from one conversation to another without having to go back to a main message page. Users can also post a reply to a message from within the app.

The app displays the location of Facebook friends who are nearby on a map. To show up on the map, the user's friends must have chosen to share their location by checking in to Facebook Places.

Once a photo album has been selected, photos can be displayed full-screen.

Users can then flick through the photos in order or use the thumbnail strip at the bottom of the screen to skip to specific images.
