Facebook Messenger App for android

Facebook desires to take over all your messaging on Android. As of today, it's extensively presenting a feature inside Facebook Messenger App for android that'll enable it to handle both Facebook messages and basic SMS messages, all integrated into one interface. Most of Facebook Messenger's fancier functions cannot be used here, however -- thankfully-- you'll still be able to send sticker labels. The only genuine flair here is that, like Facebook talks, SMS conversations can pop out of the app as Chat Heads and drift around the screen, over top of other apps.

This feature has actually remained in testing since February, according to TechCrunch, and seems to have currently rolled out to numerous people. I have actually been using it for the past couple of months as my primary messaging app-- there's nothing groundbreaking about it, however I use Facebook Messenger a lot, so it's been practical to have all of my chats in one place. Chat Heads for text is neat enough, although it gets annoying closing out a drifting bubble every time I get sent out a two-factor authentication code.

Facebook tells TechCrunch that none of your text messages will be seen by Facebook's servers while using this function. Everything is happening in your area on your phone, so this theoretically will not strike any personal privacy issues. Messenger won't try to integrate your text messages and Facebook messages either; the 2 stay different, even if you're messaging the exact same contact in two places.

With today's release Facebook Messenger App for android, Facebook Messenger leader David Marcus says the SMS/ Messenger combination will be offered to "most nations." If you were looking for a way to let Facebook control more parts of your life, make certain to give this one a shot.
