Facebook Messenger App Review
Configuration
It's most likely you've at the very least attempted MESSENGER in the past, so this step shouldn't require much explanation. If you do not utilize Facebook or simply aren't a fan, great news: you don't require to even have a Facebook account to use MESSENGER. Simply your smart phone number will be sufficient. You download the application from the Play Store. After that either get in touch with your Facebook account or mobile number, as well as you're in.
Attributes
Young boy, where to begin with this. The list is long and also quickly expanding longer, so let's experience (what I consider) the largest functions one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This feature made some rather serious headings previously this year. MESSENGER can now be used as both your data-based messenging app and also mobile SMS texting interface. No, it does not physically take control of cellular-based texting, however it rules in all your incoming and outward bound texts into it's interface, offering you a single application to open, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom might object to this migration, recognizing Facebook's acquire wish to be recognize all the information of your internet activity ... Facebook itself has actually claimed that they pull no information regarding your texts back its web servers; it's only offering this feature [essentially] so you utilize or remain on the MESSENGER app that a lot longer. I think it depends on you whether you fit with that said idea.
Integrated Photo & Video Clip Capture
This's not a genuine unique feature, yet it's capability it top-notch. While in the app, you can introduce either your tool's front or back electronic camera to conveniently capture media for sharing objectives.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, yet once again it functions actually, truly smoothly (though note: this doesn't work with SMS combination). Simply by pushing heaven symbol. I state 'blue', due to the fact that it may be grey ... this informs you that person isn't available to take a video phone call back then. Cool!
In-App Gamings
When in a discussion, simply click on the plot controller symbol and select your battle. The listing of video games is rather long, as well as Facebook states it will certainly get longer in the temporary. While video gaming has actually had a limited presence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has simply today launched the canines on the full-boat game offerings.

Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER offers a ceramic tile with a scan-able code together with your prompt & important call details.
Show Location
If you're wandering around community and are attempting to meet up with some friends, MESSENGER's location-sharing attribute may be available in helpful.
An Individualized Introduction (if you have a business/page)
If you have a commercial account or page, MESSENGER permits you include a welcoming, to show up when a person opens up the application to send you a message. This is a fantastic function to establishing the tone a customer (or possible one) experiences when interfacing with your brand name.
Send Sound Clips (remove voicemail!).
I'm pretty amazed this set isn't more popular than it is. Rather than leaving a phone message (and making your friend undergo the difficult job of navigating mobile voice mail), you can simply hit the microphone button and also leave a voice message right in the app. So as opposed to needing to "dial-in", the receiver can obtain a notice as well as press "play". Ahhh ... it functions so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike standard SMS (where my experience has actually revealed it to be an overall mess), MESSENGER deals with team chats with loved one aplomb. The main means they accomplish this is providing group talks their very own tab, sorting them together rather than combined amongst all your other conversations (particularly with individuals who likewise turn up in the group talks).
Stand-Alone Desktop App
OK, this isn't mobile-based, yet I directly use it and it functions well. Messenger.com will bring up a structured user interface that functions similar to the mobile app; so you don't have to keep going to your phone while at your desk throughout the job day (supplied your employer is normally trendy with this, of course).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the app is a food selection option to "request a flight". From below you can choose Uber or Lyft as your solution of selection, and also off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within team talks, you can pin a certain string to the top of your list, so it's easy to locate!
Mute notifications
If you're trying to obtain some work done, or have one more obligation & do not wish to get averted with a Carrier discussion, you can choose to 'mute' notifications from a certain thread for your option of time (15 mins, 1 hr, and so on).
Send out & obtain cash
... as well as Facebook doesn't even bill for the solution. While in a conversation, click the "$" symbol, choose the amount you want to send out to the individual you're talking with, as well as enter your bank card info. Done.
Send your location (though not making use of Google Maps)
While you might not require this very commonly, if you do locate your as well as your good friends having difficulty locating each other while out & regarding it might can be found in quite handy. Merely click on your place, and also your pal( s) will be able to see a click-able map to see precisely where you are.
Conclusion
Love it or despise it, Facebook has actually built a great attribute established into an extremely well-performing application in MESSENGER. As well as incorporated with the crazy-big individual base, it's obtaining harder every day to justify not using it (or at the very least having it installed).
Hopefully you found some previously-unknown attribute that will certainly come in helpful for you. Or, maybe, you might have found your threshold factor to offer it a try. Allow us recognize if you have any various other must-try functions in MESSENGER!
