If you want to dismiss a chat, simply drag the chat head towards the bottom of the screen to flick it away.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChat Head Alerts\nWhen a new message comes in, the message appears alongside your contact's chat head. An alert number notification also appears to signify how many unread messages exist.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessage Options\n\nWhile Facebook promises that its bringing stickers -- a feature that is popular with Asian messaging apps and with the new chat app Message Me -- we don't have access quite yet.\nIn the meantime, you can send photos, record a voice message and attach Emoji. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo-Person Chat Head Chat\nIf a second person messages you, this is what the messaging interface looks like.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple Chats with Alerts\nThis is how multiple chat sessions look with alerts for unread messages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple Chats Tabbed View\nEach person in your chat list has their own distinctive \"tab.\" Just tap on the chat head you want to access that chat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessage Inbox\nIn addition to standard chat heads, there is also an icon for the message inbox that offers an overview of all recent messages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Feed Selector\nAlso new in Facebook 6.0 for iPhone is a new way to browse the News Feed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Feed Options\nUsers can select their full feed or select a specific group or feed type such as photos or music.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos View\nThe photo News Feed just displays new photos users have uploaded.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChat Heads on iPad\nChat heads also work on the iPad.

The difference is that the additional space on the iPad allows more room to see what's happening on the screen and in the chat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessage Options on iPad\nThe same message options exist for iPad as on iPhone. One thing to note, the new stickers feature is iPhone only for now.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple Chat Heads on iPad\nThis is how multiple chat heads appear on the iPad.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMovable Chat Heads on iPad\nAs with the iPhone and Facebook Home, you can move chat heads around on the iPhone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook just updated its iOS app to version 6.0, adding support for chat heads and a new news feed. \nChat heads debuted with Facebook Home last week and are available to all Android users as part of the Facebook Messenger app. The idea behind chat heads are to allow users to keep a running list of conversations going without having to stop what they are doing and switch apps.\nWhile on Android, chat heads can exist as a layer within every app, on iOS, the experience is limited to being inside Facebook for iPhone or iPad. That takes away some of the joy of chat heads \u2014 namely the ability to have a persistent conversation no matter what you're doing on your device. Still, chat heads are great for users that spend a lot of time in the Facebook app and may want to carry on several chats without having to be tied to the messaging view itself.\nOn iOS, chat heads really shine on the iPad. The extra screen real estate makes the multi-tasking concept really sing. As with the Android app, users can move chat heads around the app to get out of the way and can also dismiss notifications and chats by just flicking the icons to the bottom of the screen.\nIn addition to chat heads, the iPhone version of Facebook was also updated to include the new News Feed. Users can choose specific content to view \u2014 including photos, music and games \u2014 rather than merely viewing all stories at once.\nChat heads aren't available to all Facebook for iOS users \u2014 the company says it will be rolling out the feature to everyone in the coming weeks. What do you think of the new Facebook for iOS? Let us know in the comments. \nImages by Mashable"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
