Messenger On Facebook
Arrangement
It's likely you've at the very least tried MESSENGER before, so this step shouldn't need much description. If you don't utilize Facebook or just aren't a follower, good information: you don't need to even have a Facebook account to utilize MESSENGER. Just your cellphone number will be adequate. You download the app from the Play Shop. After that either get in touch with your Facebook account or mobile number, and also you're in.
Functions
Child, where to start with this one. The listing is long and quickly expanding longer, so let's undergo (what I take into consideration) the greatest attributes one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This feature made some quite severe headlines previously this year. MESSENGER can now be used as both your data-based messenging app and also cellular SMS texting interface. No, it doesn't literally take control of cellular-based texting, yet it reigns in all your inbound as well as outbound texts right into it's user interface, providing you a solitary application to open, regardless of the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom may object to this migration, knowing Facebook's inherit wish to be understand all the information of your internet activity ... Facebook itself has claimed that they draw no information concerning your texts back its servers; it's just providing this attribute [basically] so you use or remain on the MESSENGER application that much longer. I guess it's up to you whether you're comfortable keeping that concept.
Integrated Picture & Video Clip Capture
This one's not a real unique feature, yet it's functionality it superior. While in the application, you can launch either your device's front or back camera to easily capture media for sharing functions.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, but once more it functions truly, really efficiently (though note: this doesn't collaborate with SMS integration). Simply by pressing the blue symbol. I say 'blue', since it might be grey ... this tells you that individual isn't available to take a video clip telephone call at that time. Neat!
In-App Gamings
When in a conversation, just click the little game controller symbol and pick your battle. The checklist of games is quite long, as well as Facebook states it will certainly get longer in the short-term. While pc gaming has had a restricted presence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has simply today released the dogs on the full-boat video game offerings.
You can find out more about this new function right here.
Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER supplies a floor tile with a scan-able code in addition to your prompt & relevant get in touch with information.
Show Location
If you're straying around community as well as are attempting to meet up with some good friends, MESSENGER's location-sharing attribute may be available in handy.
A Personalized Introduction (if you have a business/page)
If you have an industrial account or page, MESSENGER permits you include a greeting, to show up when a person opens up the application to send you a message. This is a great feature to setting the tone a consumer (or possible one) experiences when interfacing with your brand.
Send Out Audio Clips (remove voicemail!).
I'm quite amazed this one isn't a lot more preferred than it is. As opposed to leaving a phone message (and also making your good friend go through the difficult job of browsing cellular voice mail), you can simply strike the microphone switch and also leave a voice message right in the app. So instead of needing to "dial-in", the receiver can get a notification and also press "play". Ahhh ... it functions so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike standard SMS (where my experience has actually shown it to be a complete mess), MESSENGER handles group chats with loved one aplomb. The primary method they accomplish this is providing group talks their own tab, sorting them together instead of mixed amongst all your various other conversations (particularly with individuals that additionally appear in the group talks).
Stand-Alone Desktop Application
OK, this isn't mobile-based, but I personally utilize it and it functions well. Messenger.com will bring up a streamlined user interface that functions much like the mobile app; so you don't need to maintain mosting likely to your phone while at your desk throughout the job day (provided your employer is usually trendy with this, of course).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the application is a menu option to "ask for a flight". From right here you can select Uber or Lyft as your service of choice, as well as off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within group talks, you can pin a certain string to the top of your list, so it's easy to locate!
Mute alerts
If you're trying to get some job done, or have one more responsibility & don't want to get sidetracked with a Carrier discussion, you can choose to 'silence' notifications from a certain thread for your selection of time (15 minutes, 1 hour, and so on).
Send & obtain loan
... as well as Facebook doesn't also bill for the service. While in a conversation, click the "$" icon, choose the quantity you intend to send out to the person you're chatting with, and enter your bank card details. Done.
Send your location (though not using Google Maps)
While you may not require this really usually, if you do find your as well as your pals having difficulty finding each various other while out & about it may can be found in pretty helpful. Just click your place, as well as your close friend( s) will certainly be able to check out a click-able map to see specifically where you are.
Verdict
Love it or hate it, Facebook has actually developed an excellent feature set into a really well-performing application in MESSENGER. As well as combined with the crazy-big individual base, it's getting harder every day to validate not using it (or at the very least having it mounted).
With any luck you found some previously-unknown feature that will certainly can be found in valuable for you. Or, perhaps, you might have discovered your limit reason to provide it a shot. Allow us know if you have any other must-try attributes in MESSENGER!
