Facebook testing Foursquare-like details on iOS app

An update Wednesday to Facebook’s iOS app borrows from Foursquare, showing detailed information — context cards — over the News Feed after a user checks in or after they link to something like a movie or song in a status update.

Facebook notes that this is a test that will roll out to iOS users starting today.

For instance, if you check in at a local park or restaurant, Facebook will show which friends have also checked in there and how recently, as well as photos from their experiences.
