First,
the bad news. Facebook Home isn't coming
to iOS anytime soon due to the underlying technologies that restrict the way
apps interact with the iPhone's operating system. Now, the good news: Facebook
is pushing an update to its iOS app right now that'll add support for
chat heads. Mike Schroepfer, CTO and vice president of engineering at Facebook,
just announced the news here at D: Dive Into Mobile, and if all goes well, you
should see the update hit your own device later in the day.
According to
Schroepfer: "The goal from the beginning was to get this experience into
everyone's hands. As part of that, we're shortly going to announce an update to
our iOS app that'll add chat heads. Multiple messages, multiple threads, same
design, etc. You have to be within the app -- that's a limitation of iOS. You
can't draw across other apps when you aren't in the app." [Source]
