App profile page versus m.facebook.com


Can this be true, or am I missing something, big time? It seems there's no way to access a Facebook app's profile page on the Facebook mobile site (m.facebook.com)?

I thought I wouldn't need to create a separate fan page for my app now that the app's profile page kind of looks and feels like a regular fan page. But if it's not accessible in Facebook mobile, then it's no use to me whatsoever - the thing is, I'm developing a native iPhone app, and the Facebook app is just for sharing the results, promoting and building fanbase - in other words I need a "Visit app's Facebook page" button in my iPhone app, and obviously the link should open in m.facebook.com, not the full www.facebook.com site.

I have no problem opening regular fan pages in Facebook mobile on my iPhone, or opening app's profile pages in the regular Facebook site. But I can't seem to be able to access any app's profile page in Facebook mobile. Please tell me I'm just dumb and there's of course a way to do this.


Solution

  • Here's a few ways that I was able to make it work.

    Named pages

    • m.facebook.com/coke
    • m.facebook.com/facebook
    • m.facebook.com/yupiq

    Applications

    • m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=150980384961454

    Does that solve it for you?

    EDIT:

    I was unable to get the m.facebook.com/{id} to work for anything.
