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

5. 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.

6. Group Messaging
Facebook sees Messenger as an extension of the recently
launched Facebook messages feature, which puts all your
conversations, including your texts, chats, emails, and
messages, into one place. Whether you access Facebook
online or on your phone, you can see the full history of all
your messages.
Facebook Messenger also lets you quickly start a group
conversation and message multiple people at once. If you
choose to share your location (this information is kept
private within a conversation, and is not published to
Facebook Places), the people you‟re messaging with can
easily find each other on a map with pushpins
corresponding to their locations. There‟s even an option to
get directions to your friends from Google Maps or Bing
Maps.

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10. Facebook Messenger Update
Facebook has recently released version 1.7 of its
Facebook Messenger app for both iOS and
Android, and while it may not add video chat, it does
include several features that make Messenger a
more serious competitor against the likes of
BlackBerry Messenger and iMessage. Read receipts
are the most noticeable addition to version 1.7, with
the word "seen" appearing beneath a message when
its recipient has taken a look. The functionality even
works when sending group messages, ticking off the
name of each individual person that's reviewed your
group messages.

11. Facebook Messenger Update
Beyond read receipts, you‟ll now see the name of
town or city from which a message was sent in-line if
your conversation partners have location enabled.
This improves on the old colored blue arrow next to
geo-tagged messages that had to be tapped to
actually show location. And Facebook has replaced
the ambiguous “three dots” real-time typing indicator
by showing in-line the name of who‟s currently typing
a message to you.

21. Facebook Messenger
“More and more of us rely on our phones
to send and receive messages,” a
Facebook spokesperson said in a
statement. “But it isn‟t always easy to
know the best way to reach someone on
their phone. Should you send an email or
text? Which will they check first? Did they
even get your last message? We think
messaging should be easier than that.
You should be able to write a
message, click „Send‟ and know that you
will reach the person right away.”
