Facebook Messenger Review
Facebook Messenger Free
Configuration
It's most likely you contend least tried MESSENGER before, so this step should not need much description. If you don't make use of Facebook or just aren't a fan, good news: you do not need to even have a Facebook account to use MESSENGER. Simply your mobile phone number will be enough. You download and install the app from the Play Shop. Then either connect with your Facebook account or mobile number, and also you're in.
Features
Boy, where to start with this. The checklist is long and also swiftly expanding longer, so let's experience (what I think about) the biggest functions one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This attribute made some pretty severe headings previously this year. MESSENGER can now be made use of as both your data-based messenging application as well as cellular SMS texting interface. No, it doesn't physically take control of cellular-based texting, but it reigns in all your incoming as well as outbound messages into it's user interface, providing you a solitary app to open, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom may object to this migration, recognizing Facebook's inherit need to be understand all the details of your internet task ... Facebook itself has declared that they pull no information concerning your messages back its web servers; it's only using this feature [basically] so you use or stay on the MESSENGER app that much longer. I think it's up to you whether you fit with that said notion.
Integrated Photo & Video Clip Capture
This set's not an actual unique attribute, however it's performance it first-class. While in the application, you can introduce either your gadget's front or back camera to conveniently record media for sharing functions.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, but once more it works really, actually efficiently (though note: this does not work with SMS integration). Just by pressing heaven icon. I claim 'blue', since it might be gray ... this tells you that individual isn't available to take a video call back then. Cool!
In-App Gamings
When in a conversation, just click the little game controller icon and also pick your battle. The checklist of video games is rather long, and also Facebook specifies it will certainly obtain longer in the short-term. 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.
You can find out more regarding this brand-new attribute here.
Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER uses a floor tile with a scan-able code together with your instant & important contact information.
Show Location
If you're straying around community and are trying to meet some buddies, MESSENGER's location-sharing function may be available in useful.
A Customized Introduction (if you have a business/page)
If you have a business account or web page, MESSENGER permits you consist of a greeting, to show up when somebody opens up the app to send you a message. This is a great function to setting the tone a client (or possible one) experiences when interfacing with your brand name.
Send Out Sound Clips (eliminate voicemail!).
I'm pretty surprised this one isn't much more popular than it is. Rather than leaving a phone message (and making your pal go through the difficult task of browsing mobile voice mail), you can simply strike 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 an alert and press "play". Ahhh ... it works so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike standard SMS (where my experience has actually shown it to be an overall mess), MESSENGER deals with team chats with loved one aplomb. The primary means they accomplish this is providing group talks their very own tab, arranging them together instead of blended among all your various other conversations (specifically with people that likewise appear in the team chats).
Stand-Alone Desktop Computer App
OK, this isn't mobile-based, yet I directly utilize it as well as it works well. Messenger.com will bring up a streamlined user interface that works much like the mobile application; so you don't have to maintain mosting likely to your phone while at your workdesk during the work day (provided your company is normally awesome with this, certainly).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the application is a menu option to "request a ride". From here you can choose Uber or Lyft as your solution of selection, as well as off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within group chats, you can pin a specific 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 another responsibility & don't want to obtain sidetracked with a Carrier conversation, you can pick to 'mute' alerts from a specific thread for your selection of time (15 mins, 1 hour, etc.).
Send out & receive loan
... and also Facebook doesn't even charge for the service. While in a discussion, click on the "$" icon, pick the quantity you want to send to the person you're chatting with, and enter your charge card details. Done.
Send your area (though not making use of Google Maps)
While you may not need this really usually, if you do discover your and also your buddies having difficulty locating each other while out & concerning it might come in quite handy. Just click on your place, as well as your pal( s) will certainly have the ability to view a click-able map to see exactly where you are.
Final thought
Love it or hate it, Facebook has constructed an excellent feature established into a very well-performing app in MESSENGER. And combined with the crazy-big user base, it's getting harder each day to warrant not utilizing it (or a minimum of having it mounted).
With any luck you found some previously-unknown function that will certainly be available in useful for you. Or, perhaps, you might have located your limit factor to provide it a shot. Let us know if you have any other must-try functions in MESSENGER!
