Facebook iOS app update ‘fixes’ photo comments bug

Facebook has released an update to its mobile app for Apple’s iOS devices that fixes a bug that caused the wrong comments to show up on some photos. The update, which officially “fixes an issue that caused incorrect comments to be displayed for certain photos,” is available in version 4.0.3 of the Facebook app, so you’ll have to upgrade to that version to enjoy the fix.

If the iTunes App Store reviews are to be believed, however, it appears that the update doesn’t exactly deliver what it promises, with a number of people saying that the same problem with comments is still showing up. And many others say that the app continues to stall and freeze when loading photos or the News Feed.

From what we can tell, this update does nothing more than fix this issue (if it even does that), so if you were hoping for some sweet new features, you might as well just move along, because they aren’t here.

As of this writing, the 4.0.3 version of the app only has a user score of 2.5 stars on iTunes. Sounds like Facebook still has some more work to do.

Snapchat Planets: What’s the order, and what do they mean?
Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot
Snapchat Planets being shown on the Snapchat app on iPhone.

Snapchat is already packed with little symbols that can be weirdly hard to decode. You have streaks, emojis, badges, scores, Best Friends, and if you use Snapchat Plus, a tiny solar system that shows where you sit in someone’s closest-friends list.

The feature is called Friend Solar System, though most people just call it Snapchat Planets. It takes your position in a friend’s Snapchat orbit and turns it into a planet. From Mercury to Neptune, these celestial bodies signify how close a person is to you.

WhatsApp Web

As one of the most popular messaging services, you’ve already heard of WhatsApp. From its humble beginnings in 2009—two years before Apple introduced iMessage—to its acquisition by Facebook (now Meta) in 2014, WhatsApp has become the dominant messaging platform around the globe.

In recent years, it's grown even more potent with new features like video messages, self-destructing voice messages, the ability to edit sent messages, and more. We even finally got an WhatsApp iPad app in May 2025.

WhatsApp app store listing open on iPhone

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.

Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.
