    so is this why the iphone facebook app wont connect?

    Because i'm suuuper excited for this...and its frustrating that the app "cant connect to facebook at this time..."

    Joe from Facebook here. There was a small issue with our servers which has been resolved. You should be able to use the app within the next 30 minutes.

    you have to download the pre-released 2.0 firmware...or wait until tomorrow...

    and update itunes to 7.7 so u have the app store and download the free facebook app.

    its not a website...its a native application

    Why the hell did they leave out walls and put chat?
  • Raphael · 1 year ago
    Will the chat feature replace SMS? Duh! Of course not. To use Chat, people have to be logged in to Facebook. SMS is asynchronous.

    but how can u get it?
    can u give some more info please
  • Ahson Wardak · 1 year ago
    Well, since iPhone apps can't run in the background, I don't know that you'd be able to keep your Facebook chat open like Google Talk. SMS will be around, until we all have cheaper data plans.

    What about this URL: http://iphone.facebook.com? Should it not be possible to check out the chat function through this? I can seem to find it.
  • Kevin L · 1 year ago
    can't seem to chat with the new iPhone 2.0 App. "Message unable to be sent. try again later". Anyone else having this problem?

    Does facebook chat messages count towards my text messages??
  • Shawn Korin · 1 year ago
    Awesome app. The chat list comes up but everytime I send a msg, “Message unable to be sent. try again later”.

    This has been going on since launch, even with the new FB app 2.1. It seems to be a problem for every Fido and Rogers (Canada) iPhone user.

    Please fix it!

    Switzerland (Swisscom) has the same problem with the chat feature.
  • Justin · 1 year ago
    I can't find a way to check for friend requests from the app. Can someone shine some light on this please?
  • Benjamin · 1 year ago
    Seriously, what the hell is going on with the chat function? I bought the app on day 1 and have never been able to get past the 'unable to be sent' error message. This thing is simply busted.
  • John · 1 year ago
    I loaded the app but get a blank facebook page. Where is the login?
  • vick · 1 year ago
    Hey guys, just got the app. Would love it to work but i also havnt managed to send an instant chat message! (England). Joe Hewitt please shed us some light!!
  • Ameet · 1 year ago
    Hey guys!

    I was having the same problem with the chat, and I figured it out. Go on to facebook.com on your regular computer, make sure you're online and then you can logout. Right after I did that, I tried the chat on my phone and it worked for the first time.

    I hope this will work for you guys...

    Good luck!
  • Sandra Ferron · 1 year ago
