Details on New Facebook Platform API Features For Profile Redesign

Facebook’s pace of updates is increasing as the profile redesign launch steadily approaches.

Today, Facebook released additional notes on new features for the upcoming redesign. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Facebook has added support for iframe popups. This means you can now use feed forms and other profile integration actions from iframes.
  • The api.new.facebook.com is now running from an industrial strength tier, so you should be able to test more easily now.
  • Facebook is adding new parameters to tell you if the user has added your app tab or not (fb_sig_is_in_profile_tab), and who the recipient of a publisher post is (fb_sig_profile_user).
