I just bought the iphone 4 yesterday so i really dont know much about it. the question i have is with the facebook chat is there a way for the chat to save on there. cuz i was talkin to someone and than went to the main screen and went back in when they wrote back and what we previously talked about was gone. is there a way to save the chat on there. or exit the facebook app without closing it?
I'm not entirely clear on what exactly you are asking. I'll help you as best I can.
If you are in FB and get a vibration (someone initiated chat) and you go to the FB menu page and tap chat and enter the conversation you are chatting with that person. You can then tap the FB menu button and do other things like check your newsfeed/friends' pages/your profile, etc. As you are doing so you can continue to toggle between the chat and other functions within FB and your chat should remain.
However, I've noticed that if I press the home button and "close" FB and then return to FB...the chat is gone. My assumption would be it clears the previous chat out in order to not slow the iPhone down with multiple tasks constantly being performed without user interaction.
While the iPhone 4 multitasks, I don't believe you can actually "close" FB and return to the program to your previous chat.
**By close, I do not mean to log out of fb...just tapping the home button and being taken back to your home screen.
The same thing actually happens to me, but not only when I use the home button.
I have a Iphone 3gs but i didnt update to os4, i updated facebook tho and now facebook deletes all my chats even while im writing.
When I am chatting with someone, suddently facebook deletes every thing even just written messages. Then if someone was writing in the same moment I dont get to see it cause every time i switch from a chat to another it deletes everything.
Could it possibly be because I updated facebook and not the OS yet?
I know it's not an issue with you having an updated facebook app and not upgraded firmware. I have the 4.0 and the update facebook app and I experience the exact same thing. It is very frustrating and I wish someone would look into it and resolve the issue.
