Facebook has made the move into the mobile chat revolution. It has launched a standalone app for iPhone and Android called Facebook Messenger. This app is dedicated to sending messages and texts through the world largest social network.
The application ties into the existing Facebook Messages feature on it’s website, the app can be used to send messages to Facebook friends or other people in the user’s phone address book, delivering them by notification or text.
All messages are sent and received in real time, which means no waiting for your feed to refresh. It is simple and straightforward, so even the most unskilled mobile users can enjoy.
Log onto Messenger with your Facebook username and you’re taken to a screen with all of your recent chats and messages. You can jump into any past conversation or create a new one. You can also send photos to your friends and give message threads a name, for easier organization, much like you do on the Facebook site.
South Africans will have to wait awhile before we get involved. It has only just been released in the US – but we cannot wait to see how it handles above the rest of the apps.
