Facebook MessengerFacebook Messenger is a mobile app that lets you send andreceive real-time messages with individual friends as well assmall groups of friends, send photos, and privately share yourlocation. You can grab it today in the US and Canada for Androidon Google‟s Android Market, for Blackberry on App World and forthe iPhone on Apple‟s App Store.If your friend has the app, messages are delivered to him or hervia push notifications (you can choose to mute all conversationsor specific ones temporarily or indefinitely). If he or shedoesn‟t, they are delivered via SMS, Facebook Chat, orFacebook Messages. You can thus use it to reach all of yourfriends – whether they‟re on Facebook or in your phone contacts.All you have to do is type the person‟s name and the message.

Facebook Messenger After you install it, Facebook Messenger imports all your existing Facebook inbox conversations. You can then start a conversation by adding one of more of your Facebook friends or phone numbers from your phone‟s contacts. If someone is both a Facebook friend and a contact on your phone, you can choose where to deliver the conversation‟s messages. It‟s worth noting that Messenger is a separate app from the standalone Facebook app. This is the first standalone app from the social network; previously all new features were simply added to the main Facebook app on the various mobile platforms. This could be the start of a new trend: details regarding a photo sharing app for the iPhone leaked out two months ago.

Group MessagingFacebook sees Messenger as an extension of the recentlylaunched Facebook messages feature, which puts all yourconversations, including your texts, chats, emails, andmessages, into one place. Whether you access Facebookonline or on your phone, you can see the full history of allyour messages.Facebook Messenger also lets you quickly start a groupconversation and message multiple people at once. If youchoose to share your location (this information is keptprivate within a conversation, and is not published toFacebook Places), the people you‟re messaging with caneasily find each other on a map with pushpinscorresponding to their locations. There‟s even an option toget directions to your friends from Google Maps or BingMaps.

Group Messaging If you try to add more people to a one-on-one conversation, the message history is cleared (a good move given Facebook‟s poor privacy history). If you add additional participants to an existing group conversation, you are warned that these new people will be able see the conversation‟s history. You can also attach photos, and your friends can see and comment on them. You can optionally add a title and a photo to a given conversation.

Main FeaturesFacebook lists three main features for the app: •Reach friends right on their phones – Send a message to your friends with Messenger, it goesdirectly to their mobile phones, so you stay in touch no matter where you go. Message any ofyour Facebook friends or anyone in your mobile contacts.•Get and send messages fast – Get to your messages with one click. Mobile notifications alsohelp make sure you never miss a message, from timely questions (”Need me to pick upanything?”) to last-minute changes of plans.be in on the plan. •Make plans with groups on the go – Trying to plan anight out with friends? Instead of sending individualmessages to all the different people in your group, nowyou can add everyone to one simple conversation, soeveryone can be in on the plan.

Beluga Acquisition This app is the result of Facebook‟s acquisition of Beluga just five months prior to the release of Facebook Messenger. Beluga is a group messaging service, which is available for Android and iOS. It automatically searches through your Facebook friends and adds other Beluga users. Facebook acquired the small startup because it cleverly leveraged the social network to grow its group messaging app for sending instant group messages, photos, and location information.

Facebook Messenger UpdateFacebook has recently released version 1.7 of itsFacebook Messenger app for both iOS andAndroid, and while it may not add video chat, it doesinclude several features that make Messenger amore serious competitor against the likes ofBlackBerry Messenger and iMessage. Read receiptsare the most noticeable addition to version 1.7, withthe word "seen" appearing beneath a message whenits recipient has taken a look. The functionality evenworks when sending group messages, ticking off thename of each individual person thats reviewed yourgroup messages.
