Radical new iOS app design from Facebook
Facebook will launch a new iOS app in the US on Monday which radically overhauls how users view status updates, photographs and videos posted by contacts.
Facebook Paper allows you to navigate through your news feed item-by-item with the swipe of a finger. Images appear full-screen with accompanying captions overlaid, and users can pan from left to right simply by tilting their device. Any videos in your news feed also appear full-screen and play with captions overlaid in a similar way to images. At the bottom of each page are “like”, "comment" and "share" icons, but no other screen furniture is displayed.
