Messenger App Facebook
Setup
It's likely you contend the very least tried MESSENGER before, so this action should not need much explanation. If you do not utilize Facebook or simply aren't a follower, 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 remain in.
Features
Young boy, where to begin with this. The list is long as well as swiftly expanding much longer, so let's undergo (what I think about) the largest attributes one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This attribute made some pretty significant headlines previously this year. MESSENGER can now be utilized as both your data-based messenging application and also cellular SMS texting interface. No, it does not literally take control of cellular-based texting, yet it rules in all your inbound and outward bound texts into it's user interface, giving you a single application to open, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom might object to this migration, recognizing Facebook's acquire need to be understand all the details of your web activity ... Facebook itself has actually declared that they draw no data concerning your messages back its servers; it's only supplying this attribute [basically] so you use or stay on the MESSENGER application that a lot longer. I guess it's up to you whether you're comfortable keeping that idea.
Integrated Photo & Video Capture
This one's not a genuine novel attribute, yet it's functionality it top-notch. While in the app, you can release either your gadget's front or rear electronic camera to quickly catch media for sharing objectives.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, yet once again it works actually, truly efficiently (though note: this does not collaborate with SMS integration). Simply by pushing the blue icon. I claim 'blue', since it might be grey ... this informs you that individual isn't readily available to take a video phone call back then. Neat!
In-App Gamings
When in a conversation, simply click the little game controller icon and pick your battle. The checklist of video games is quite long, and Facebook mentions it will get longer in the temporary. While gaming has had a restricted existence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has just today released the canines on the full-boat video game offerings.
You can learn more concerning this new function right here.
Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER offers a tile with a scan-able code along with your immediate & relevant call information.
Show Location
If you're wandering around community and are attempting to meet up with some buddies, MESSENGER's location-sharing attribute might be available in helpful.
A Customized Introduction (if you have a business/page)
If you have a commercial account or page, MESSENGER permits you consist of a welcoming, to show up when somebody opens up 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 name.
Send Out Sound Clips (eliminate voicemail!).
I'm quite amazed this set isn't a lot more popular than it is. As opposed to leaving a phone message (as well as making your good friend experience the tough task of navigating cellular voice mail), you can just hit the microphone switch and also leave a voice message right in the app. So as opposed to needing to "dial-in", the receiver can get an alert and also press "play". Ahhh ... it functions so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike typical SMS (where my experience has actually revealed it to be a total mess), MESSENGER handles team chats with relative aplomb. The main way they accomplish this is providing team chats their very own tab, arranging them with each other instead of blended amongst all your other conversations (particularly with individuals that also show up in the team talks).
Stand-Alone Desktop Computer App
OK, this isn't mobile-based, yet I directly use it as well as it works well. Messenger.com will bring up a structured user interface that functions much like the mobile application; so you don't need to keep going to your phone while at your workdesk throughout the job day (provided your company is normally cool with this, obviously).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the application is a menu option to "request a flight". From here you can pick Uber or Lyft as your solution of option, as well as off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within team talks, you can pin a particular thread to the top of your listing, so it's simple to find!
Mute notifications
If you're trying to get some job done, or have an additional responsibility & do not wish to obtain sidetracked with a Messenger conversation, you can pick to 'mute' notices from a certain string for your choice of time (15 minutes, 1 hr, etc.).
Send out & receive money
... and also Facebook does not even bill for the service. While in a conversation, click the "$" icon, choose the amount you want to send out to the individual you're chatting with, and also enter your credit card info. Done.
Send your area (though not utilizing Google Maps)
While you might not need this very frequently, if you do locate your and also your pals having problem locating each various other while out & about it might be available in pretty helpful. Just click on your place, as well as your pal( s) will have the ability to check out a click-able map to see exactly where you are.
Final thought
Love it or despise it, Facebook has constructed an excellent feature established right into a really well-performing application in MESSENGER. And also integrated with the crazy-big customer base, it's obtaining harder each day to validate not using it (or a minimum of having it set up).
Hopefully you discovered some previously-unknown feature that will certainly can be found in helpful for you. Or, possibly, you might have located your limit factor to give it a shot. Allow us understand if you have any other must-try functions in MESSENGER!
