There will be a new Places icon in the very middle of the app.  Just as with Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt and the rest, you\u2019ll be able to  check-in to any venue you\u2019re at. Or if the venue isn\u2019t in the system,  you can add it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems that Facebook has also learned the lesson on Privacy. There will be some privacy information and agreement to use the app.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone already using it?<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Update 1<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apparently, Facebook has been <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/08\/18\/facebook-location-history\/\" target=\"_blank\">dabbling with this feature for 8 months<\/a> and they are working with <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/08\/18\/facebook-places-gowalla\/\" target=\"_blank\">partners like Foursquare and Gowalla<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/08\/18\/facebook-places-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read from TechCrunch<\/a><\/h1>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Update 2<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally got the upgrade to version 3.2 on iPod Touch but Places not supported in Singapore<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12902\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/19\/facebook-app-to-have-check-in-to-places-function-like-foursquare\/facebook_places_region\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?fit=320%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"320,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"facebook_places_region\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?fit=320%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12902 aligncenter\" title=\"facebook_places_region\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?resize=320%2C480\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/facebook_places_region.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/08\/18\/facebook-places-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated!
