Facebook Timeline Support for iPad Rumoured for January Launch

Facebook released Timeline to all desktop users in the middle of December. A few days later the universal iPhone/iPad app for Facebook was updated although Timeline was only given to iPhone users on this app update.

We now hear that by the end of January another update will happen which will allow iPad users to be able to use Timeline via the Facebook app.

Regarding the Facebook app update expected next month, we've heard from 9to5Mac that the iPad version of Timeline is optimised for the large mobile screen and works very well with the touch interface.

Although we have heard mid to late January for the launch, we've also heard that Facebook has stumbled across a number of bugs with Timeline which is slowing it down on the iPad. Expect January but this could fall in to February depending on how quick Apple can review the app when completed.

How to protect your Facebook account

1.       Don't Click: Never click on a strange link, especially if has a high number of likes on it. Attackers like to exploit the trust between friends and family to their advantage. If a link comes from your friend whom you trust very much, you are extremely likely to click on that link rather than if it came from a stranger.

2.       Knowledge is power: Use your knowledge of friends and family to your advantage. If it doesn't sound like them, it probably isn't. Attackers love to post links posing as your friends to extract personal information from your profile, which they then sell to the highest bidder.
