UI design is about maintaining consistency while expanding possibilities. Looks like Facebook's latest iOS update does the opposite...
Today facebook changed (once again) the gestures that everybody knew by now (given the high usage rate of the app), which will induce latency, friction and frustration from single handed, zero attention span millions of users.
But maybe one can see some wisdom in such choices, that over time may be progressively forgotten.
More frustrating are some feature reductions, namely in the photo area of the app that now longer allows posting pictures that are not in the camera roll.
For instance, it is no longer possible to enrich a post with a photo picked in an existing album, including the photostream. This is a big restriction in terms of features and UI, with no understandable reason.
