I loved updating facebook by pulling down the notification bar!
Yeah me too and I am very disappointed!! I hate to open FB or Twitter app to leave quick message!
when you want to upload a pic to facebook or twitter, you can tap the icon which brings up the share sheet, which looks like this. it wont do statuses but will do pics + caption.
That really doesn't help those who used the share widget to update their status etc often. It is a shame for those who used it often, that it is gone. Was a nifty little feature. Esp for those who updated both Facebook and Twitter simultaneously. You could simply copy your status and paste it on the other share widget. I used it religiously.
i understand, but this is a close enough thing for people who at least want to post pics to FB or twitter.
It would have been nice to keep the Facebook and Twitter shortcuts in the pull down bar I have to say. I used them quite a bit and can't understand why they abandoned it? It was quite a big feature when iOS 6 was launched and Apple put a lot of emphasis on it, I got used to it and now its 'officially gone'. Not the end of the world but it would be nice to have the option to add it or remove it by way of personal choice.
