Messenger For Facebook
Configuration
It's likely you contend the very least tried MESSENGER in the past, so this step should not need much description. If you do not utilize Facebook or just aren't a fan, good information: you don't require to even have a Facebook account to utilize MESSENGER. Simply your mobile phone number will certainly suffice. You download and install the app from the Play Store. Then either get in touch with your Facebook account or mobile number, and you're in.
Features
Boy, where to begin with this. The listing is long as well as swiftly expanding longer, so let's experience (what I consider) the most significant features one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This feature made some pretty serious headlines previously this year. MESSENGER can now be used as both your data-based messenging application and also cellular SMS texting user interface. No, it doesn't physically take over cellular-based texting, however it rules in all your inbound and outgoing texts into it's interface, providing you a single application to open up, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom may challenge this movement, knowing Facebook's inherit wish to be recognize all the details of your internet activity ... Facebook itself has declared that they pull no data regarding your messages back its servers; it's only providing this attribute [essentially] so you use or remain on the MESSENGER app that much longer. I think it's up to you whether you're comfortable with that said notion.
Integrated Image & Video Clip Capture
This set's not a real unique feature, yet it's capability it superior. While in the app, you can introduce either your device's front or rear electronic camera to quickly capture media for sharing functions.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, but once more it works really, really efficiently (though note: this does not deal with SMS combination). Simply by pushing the blue icon. I say 'blue', since it might be gray ... this tells you that individual isn't readily available to take a video phone call during that time. Neat!
In-App Gamings
When in a discussion, just click on the plot controller symbol and also pick your battle. The listing of games is quite long, and Facebook specifies it will certainly obtain longer in the short-term. While gaming has had a limited existence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has simply today launched the hounds on the full-boat video game offerings.
You can find out more regarding this new feature below.
Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER provides a tile with a scan-able code in addition to your instant & significant get in touch with details.
Show Location
If you're straying around town and are attempting to meet up with some good friends, MESSENGER's location-sharing attribute may can be found in helpful.
A Personalized Greeting (if you have a business/page)
If you have a business account or web page, MESSENGER enables you consist of a greeting, to turn up when somebody opens the app to send you a message. This is a wonderful feature to setting the tone a consumer (or possible one) experiences when interfacing with your brand.
Send Out Sound Clips (get rid of voicemail!).
I'm quite stunned this set isn't extra preferred than it is. Instead of leaving a phone message (and also making your pal experience the difficult job of navigating mobile voice mail), you can simply strike the microphone button as well as leave a voice message right in the app. So instead of needing to "dial-in", the receiver can obtain a notification and press "play". Ahhh ... it works so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike typical SMS (where my experience has revealed it to be an overall mess), MESSENGER manages group talks with family member aplomb. The primary way they accomplish this is providing team talks their very own tab, arranging them with each other as opposed to mixed among all your various other discussions (particularly with individuals who likewise turn up in the team chats).
Stand-Alone Desktop Computer App
OK, this isn't mobile-based, yet I personally utilize it and it works well. Messenger.com will certainly raise a streamlined interface that works much like the mobile app; so you don't have to maintain mosting likely to your phone while at your workdesk during the work day (provided your company is usually awesome with this, naturally).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the app is a food selection choice to "request a flight". From right here you can choose Uber or Lyft as your solution of option, and also off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within team talks, you can pin a specific string to the top of your listing, so it's simple to locate!
Mute alerts
If you're attempting to obtain some job done, or have one more obligation & don't want to get averted with a Carrier discussion, you can select to 'silence' notices from a particular thread for your option of time (15 minutes, 1 hr, etc.).
Send out & obtain money
... as well as Facebook doesn't also charge for the service. While in a discussion, click the "$" icon, select the quantity you wish to send out to the individual you're talking with, as well as enter your charge card information. Done.
Send your place (though not using Google Maps)
While you may not require this really usually, if you do discover your as well as your buddies having trouble finding each other while out & regarding it may can be found in quite handy. Just click your location, and also your friend( s) will have the ability to see a click-able map to see precisely where you are.
Verdict
Love it or dislike it, Facebook has actually constructed a fantastic attribute set right into a really well-performing application in MESSENGER. And incorporated with the crazy-big individual base, it's obtaining harder every day to warrant not utilizing it (or a minimum of having it installed).
Ideally you located some previously-unknown attribute that will come in valuable for you. Or, maybe, you might have discovered your limit reason to provide it a try. Allow us understand if you have any kind of other must-try attributes in MESSENGER!
