  • Facebook’s Friendship Pages Hit Mobile, Coming to Apps Soon

    Facebook has begun to roll out their “Friendship Pages” on the mobile web, and they should be appearing on Facebook’s native apps soon.

    Friendship pages allow you to view your history with any other user, including your mutual likes, photos you’re tagged in together, posts you’ve exchanged, mutual friends, and more. Facebook debuted Friendship Pages back in 2010, but gave them a major update in November 2012 that brought them firmly into the Timeline era.

    Starting now, users will begin to see the option to access Friendship Pages roll out on m.facebook.com.

    Facebook confirmed that the new Timeline-inspired Friendship Pages will be rolling out to the iOS and Android apps “in the coming months.”

    On the mobile site there are a handful of places where you’ll see a link to Friendship Pages. Those include news feed stories about Timeline posts and Gifts, any Timeline posts between you and the friend, and life events. You can also access a Friendship Page via a menu on the specific friend’s Timeline.

    As of now, the mobile Friendship Pages do not allow for customization of live events or cover photos.

  • Facebook’s Friendship Pages Get Updated for the Timeline Era

    Facebook is finally bringing their Friendship Pages around to the new era by making them look more like the Timeline. Before this update, these pages still had the look and feel of the old Facebook profile.

    Facebook debuted Friendship Pages back in 2010 as a wal for users to look at their interactions with their friends. The Friendship Pages show photos the two of you were tagged in, wall (Timeline) posts you’ve exchanged, mutual friends, and mutual likes. In order to access your Friendship page with another user, go to their Timeline and click the settings wheel at the top right. There you’ll be given the option to “see friendship.”

    Here’s the new Timeline-structured Friendship Page:

    And the old profile-structured Friendship Page:

    As you can see, Friendship Pages now sport a huge cover photo. Inside Facebook points out that Facebook will select one for you by default, but you can change it if you like (you couldn’t change your main photo on the old Friendship Pages). The new Friendship Pages also include more information about the relationship, for instance life events (which you can add/edit), locations (through check-ins), and similar open graph activity (Josh beat Karl in SongPop or whatever).

    The update is currently rolling out, so if you’re still rocking the old format, be patient.
