Facebook Messenger Review
Facebook Chat Messenger
Configuration
It's most likely you've at the very least attempted MESSENGER previously, so this step should not require much explanation. If you don't make use of Facebook or just aren't a fan, great information: you do not need to also have a Facebook account to utilize MESSENGER. Just your cellphone number will certainly suffice. You download the application from the Play Shop. Then either connect with your Facebook account or mobile number, and also you're in.
Functions
Boy, where to begin with this. The list is long and also swiftly expanding longer, so let's undergo (what I take into consideration) the largest features one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This attribute made some rather significant headlines earlier this year. MESSENGER can now be utilized as both your data-based messenging application as well as mobile SMS texting user interface. No, it does not literally take control of cellular-based texting, yet it reigns in all your inbound as well as outgoing messages into it's interface, providing you a single app to open, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom might object to this migration, understanding Facebook's inherit desire to be recognize all the details of your internet activity ... Facebook itself has declared that they draw no information concerning your messages back its servers; it's only supplying this function [basically] so you make use of or remain on the MESSENGER app that much longer. I guess it depends on you whether you fit with that said notion.
Integrated Photo & Video Capture
This's not a real unique attribute, but it's performance it first-class. While in the app, you can release either your tool's front or rear video camera to easily record media for sharing functions.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, yet again it works actually, actually efficiently (though note: this does not work with SMS combination). Simply by pressing heaven icon. I state 'blue', because it might be grey ... this informs you that person isn't offered to take a video clip telephone call during that time. Neat!
In-App Gamings
When in a conversation, just click the plot controller symbol as well as select your fight. The list of games is rather long, and Facebook states it will certainly get longer in the temporary. While video gaming has actually had a minimal existence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has simply today launched the hounds on the full-boat game offerings.
You can find out more about this brand-new function right here.
Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER provides a floor tile with a scan-able code along with your prompt & essential contact information.
Show Location
If you're wandering around town as well as are attempting to meet up with some pals, MESSENGER's location-sharing feature may come in convenient.
A Personalized Greeting (if you have a business/page)
If you have a commercial account or page, MESSENGER allows you include a greeting, to show up when somebody opens up the application to send you a message. This is a great function to setting the tone a consumer (or prospective one) experiences when interfacing with your brand name.
Send Audio Clips (eliminate voicemail!).
I'm quite stunned this one isn't a lot more prominent than it is. Rather than leaving a phone message (and also making your buddy experience the arduous job of browsing mobile voice mail), you can merely strike the microphone button as well as leave a voice message right in the app. So as opposed to having to "dial-in", the receiver can get a notice and press "play". Ahhh ... it functions so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike typical SMS (where my experience has shown it to be a complete mess), MESSENGER takes care of team talks with family member aplomb. The main way they complete this is providing group talks their very own tab, sorting them with each other as opposed to combined amongst all your various other conversations (particularly with people that likewise turn up in the group chats).
Stand-Alone Desktop Computer Application
OK, this isn't mobile-based, yet I personally use it and it works well. Messenger.com will certainly bring up a structured interface that works just like the mobile application; so you do not need to maintain mosting likely to your phone while at your workdesk throughout the job day (supplied your employer is normally trendy with this, naturally).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the application is a menu option to "ask for a trip". From right here you can pick Uber or Lyft as your service of option, and off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within group talks, you can pin a particular string to the top of your checklist, so it's easy to locate!
Mute notices
If you're attempting to obtain some job done, or have an additional obligation & don't intend to obtain averted with a Carrier discussion, you can select to 'silence' notifications from a specific string for your option of time (15 mins, 1 hour, and so on).
Send & get cash
... and Facebook doesn't even charge for the solution. While in a conversation, click the "$" symbol, pick the quantity you wish to send to the person you're talking with, and also enter your charge card info. Done.
Send your place (though not making use of Google Maps)
While you may not need this very frequently, if you do find your as well as your buddies having difficulty finding each other while out & about it may come in pretty convenient. Just click your location, and your pal( s) will be able to view a click-able map to see specifically where you are.
Final thought
Love it or dislike it, Facebook has actually constructed a terrific attribute established into a very well-performing app in MESSENGER. And also incorporated with the crazy-big user base, it's obtaining harder on a daily basis to warrant not utilizing it (or at the very least having it set up).
Hopefully you located some previously-unknown feature that will certainly can be found in beneficial for you. Or, possibly, you may have discovered your limit reason to provide it a shot. Let us recognize if you have any type of other must-try attributes in MESSENGER!
