Anxious to reject some of your digital friends while on the go?

Facbeook’s update to its iPhone app, released Monday, makes this easier by adding a new feature that lets people “unfriend” each other.

Previously, Facebook only allowed users to cull their friend lists from the Web, meaning most people did this task from home instead of from phones.

When Facebook announced this update on its “Facebook for the iPhone” Facebook page, more than 4,500 people indicated they “liked” the news.

“Amazing update. Now i can unfriend!!!” one user posted on iTunes, in a review under the heading “yes yay woohoo.”

While bloggers have picked out the “unfriend” feature as the one that’s most fun to talk about, and make fun of, most commenters on Facebook’s page on Tuesday were discussing other features of the updated app.

Among the other changes:

Event check-ins: Facebook’s app already let people share their locations with friends, but not it’s easier than before to “check in” to a particular event, like a friend’s birthday party of a concert.

Friend map: Now you can see where you Facebook friends are — on a map. This assumes your friends are using the app to check in to various locations. Facebook doesn’t broadcast your location unless you tell it to.
