iOS users rejoice, as Facebook for iPhone and iPad has just been updated with new features and improvements.

Facebook's announcement comes several days after the company updated its Facebook and Messenger applications ahead of the Home release on Google Play.

The latest update for Facebook for iOS brings the long-awaited chat heads feature for both iPhone and iPad users.

In addition, Facebook users will now be able to send stickers to bring their messages to life and browse new feed such as Music, Games and Photos. iPad users will also notice the stories are now brighter and better looking.

According to Facebook, both chat heads and stickers features will be rolled out gradually over the next few weeks, so it might not be available for all users right away.

Facebook 6.0 is now available as a free download via App Store and is fully compatible with all iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices powered by iOS 5.0 and up. Check it out here.
