The PlayStation App 1.70.13 has just been released by Sony for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) and with it comes a host of changes. Till now, while the PlayStation App ran on iPad, it was never created natively for the larger display, resulting in an upscaled version of the iPhone app. With the most recent app update, Sony has brought native support for iPad 2 and iPad mini. This of course is still behind where Apple is with their iPad line and still doesn’t include Retina display support, which was introduced in the iPad 3 (early 2012) and the new iPad mini, but it’s a start.

After the jump, we tell you what else this 9.2 MB update brings with it.

The PlayStation App 1.70.13 brings with it:

• Notification alerts are now supported.
• Thumbnails are now displayed for screenshots and video clips that are posted to Twitter or Facebook® as activities. (To use this feature, you must have a Twitter or Facebook account.)
• Resolutions for iPad 2 and iPad mini are now supported.
• Pictures you take on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch can now be set as your profile picture.
• You can now send a PSN℠ Friend request to your friend using email or text.
• Stability during use of some features has been improved.
