Facebook Messenger For Chat
Configuration
It's likely you contend the very least tried MESSENGER before, so this step shouldn't require much explanation. If you do not use Facebook or simply aren't a follower, good news: you do not need to also have a Facebook account to utilize MESSENGER. Simply your mobile phone number will suffice. You download the application from the Play Shop. Then either get in touch with your Facebook account or mobile number, as well as you're in.
Features
Kid, where to start with this. The listing is long and also swiftly expanding longer, so let's experience (what I think about) the greatest functions one-by-one:
Integrated SMS
This attribute made some quite severe headings earlier this year. MESSENGER can now be utilized as both your data-based messenging app and also mobile SMS texting interface. No, it doesn't literally take over cellular-based texting, but it reigns in all your inbound and also outgoing texts into it's user interface, offering you a single app to open up, despite the message's medium.
Conventional wisdom might object to this movement, understanding Facebook's inherit wish to be recognize all the details of your internet activity ... Facebook itself has actually asserted that they draw no information regarding your messages back its web servers; it's only offering this attribute [essentially] so you use or stay on the MESSENGER app that much longer. I presume it's up to you whether you fit keeping that concept.
Integrated Image & Video Capture
This one's not an actual novel feature, but it's capability it superior. While in the app, you can release either your device's front or back video camera to conveniently capture media for sharing functions.
Video Chat
Nowadays not as much breaking-news, but once again it functions truly, really smoothly (though note: this doesn't work with SMS integration). Simply by pressing heaven icon. I say 'blue', because it might be gray ... this informs you that person isn't readily available to take a video clip call during that time. Cool!
In-App Gamings
When in a conversation, just click on the little game controller icon and choose your battle. The checklist of video games is rather long, and Facebook mentions it will obtain longer in the short-term. While video gaming has had a minimal presence within MESSENGER in the past, Facebook has just this week released the canines on the full-boat game offerings.

Contact Codes
Similar to Snapchat, MESSENGER supplies a ceramic tile with a scan-able code in addition to your immediate & pertinent get in touch with details.
Show Location
If you're roaming around community and are trying to meet up with some pals, MESSENGER's location-sharing attribute may be available in convenient.
A Customized Introduction (if you have a business/page)
If you have a commercial account or web page, MESSENGER permits you include a welcoming, to turn up when a person opens the app to send you a message. This is a fantastic function to establishing the tone a client (or prospective one) experiences when interfacing with your brand name.
Send Audio Clips (remove voicemail!).
I'm pretty shocked this one isn't extra preferred than it is. Instead of leaving a phone message (and also making your pal experience the tough job of browsing mobile voice mail), you can merely hit the microphone button as well as leave a voice message right in the app. So rather than having to "dial-in", the receiver can obtain an alert as well as press "play". Ahhh ... it functions so damn well.
Well-Composed Group Chats
Unlike conventional SMS (where my experience has actually revealed it to be a total mess), MESSENGER deals with group talks with family member aplomb. The main means they complete this is giving team chats their own tab, arranging them with each other instead of combined among all your various other conversations (especially with individuals that additionally show up in the team talks).
Stand-Alone Desktop Application
OK, this isn't mobile-based, however I personally utilize it and also it works well. Messenger.com will bring up a streamlined interface that works just like the mobile application; so you don't need to maintain mosting likely to your phone while at your workdesk throughout the work day (supplied your company is typically awesome with this, certainly).
Call an Uber. Or a Lyft
Right in the application is a food selection alternative to "request a trip". From right here you can choose Uber or Lyft as your service of choice, and also off you go ... without leaving MESSENGER.
Pin a Conversation
Within group chats, you can pin a specific string to the top of your checklist, so it's simple to locate!
Mute notifications
If you're attempting to obtain some work done, or have an additional obligation & do not intend to get averted with a Carrier discussion, you can pick to 'mute' alerts from a particular thread for your option of time (15 mins, 1 hr, etc.).
Send & obtain money
... and Facebook does not also charge for the service. While in a conversation, click the "$" symbol, select the quantity you intend to send out to the individual you're talking with, and also enter your credit card information. Done.
Send your place (though not utilizing Google Maps)
While you might not require this extremely often, if you do discover your as well as your good friends having problem locating each various other while out & regarding it might can be found in rather useful. Just click on your area, as well as your friend( s) will certainly have the ability to check out a click-able map to see precisely where you are.
Verdict
Love it or hate it, Facebook has actually built an excellent function set into a very well-performing app in MESSENGER. As well as incorporated with the crazy-big customer base, it's obtaining harder on a daily basis to validate not utilizing it (or a minimum of having it mounted).
Hopefully you located some previously-unknown feature that will be available in helpful for you. Or, maybe, you might have discovered your threshold reason to provide it a shot. Allow us know if you have any type of other must-try features in MESSENGER!
