Facebook updates iPhone app with stickers and Chat Heads; iPad gets new design

Facebook today announced updates for its iOS apps, which bring new messaging features to iPhone and the new News Feed design to both the iPad and iPhone.

Facebook will begin offering “stickers,” which are larger emoji that are popular in Asian messaging apps like Line, KakaoTalk and WeChat. Stickers are a key source of revenue for these and other third-party apps. Facebook announced a “sticker store,” but for now, the stickers are free to download.


Facebook also introduced Chat Heads, a feature that allows users to read and respond to messages from whatever section of the app they’re in.
