This happened sometime back but I wanna change it! For some reason status updates say "via Facebook mobile" instead of "Facebook for IPHONE".

How do I change it back so the notation below my status updates reads "from Facebook for iPhone"?

You can't do anything about it, only Facebook can. They've also removed it from Androids as well.

But anyways, it stopped saying "Facebook for" iPhone for a while. It just went to "via iPhone". Btw, it doesn't say "via Facebook mobile" anymore, it just says "via mobile"

The reason for the Via Mobile is due to the main feed now just being the browser touch site being used in the app. If you go to touch.facebook.com you'll notice your feed looks the same as the app. The photos uses the app which is why that says via iPhone.
