    Here are some schemes the Facebook app uses, there are a ton more on the source link:

    Example

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://profile/<id>"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

    Schemes

    fb://profile – Open Facebook app to the user’s profile

    fb://friends – Open Facebook app to the friends list

    fb://notifications – Open Facebook app to the notifications list (NOTE: there appears to be a bug with this URL. The Notifications page opens. However, it’s not possible to navigate to anywhere else in the Facebook app)

    fb://feed – Open Facebook app to the News Feed

    fb://events – Open Facebook app to the Events page

    fb://requests – Open Facebook app to the Requests list

    fb://notes – Open Facebook app to the Notes page

    fb://albums – Open Facebook app to Photo Albums list

    If before opening this url you want to check wether the user fas the facebook app you can do the following (as explained in another answer below):

    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:nsurl]){
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:nsurl];
}
else {
    //Open the url as usual
}
