Facebook continues to position itself in the market for smartphones To do so has developed several applications that isolate some of the most used functions of your social network foralways have them handy One of them is Facebook Messenger, which allows you to access thesection messages and chat without having to go through the rest of the functions of the social networkNow, this application is updated for the platform Android with new functions that we will discuss below .
On this occasion, the version of Facebook Messenger now has the number 2.0.2 . As in the application general of Facebook, in this application the possibility of has been introduced find out the status of our contacts and friends That is, we can find out if they are available to have a conversation thanks to agreen dot, indicating that they are active, or thanks to the icon of a smartphone, which informs us that they are available via mobile phone In addition, once we select a conversation, we can meet under contact name when was the last time you were online
The design of the general application has been has also been adapted to Facebook Messenger Now the conversations are not made up of horizontal messages, but, in the most fucking style WhatsApp, they face our conversations in Shape of different colored speech bubbles Something that helps your reading, making the application more comfortable to use. In addition, a new drop-down menu has been added to quickly access our favorite contacts To access you just have to click on the upper right corner.
And not only that. This list of contacts is personalizable If we click on Edit we access a new screen where you can choose those with whom you have the most contact to always have them at hand, in the order you want But, without a doubt, the highlight of this update lies in the possibility of sending text or SMS messages to our contacts. A utility that allows us to stay in touch without depending on an Internet connection
As far as we have been able to verify, this function is not available for all terminals, nor is it active in all countries The idea is to be able to send classic text messages through the application itself in case of that our contact is not connected. Something already seen in the application iMessage of iPhone In addition, along with all these new features, states that work has been done on a general application improvement, which should have an impact on the speed of operation, and in its reliability, or what is the same, that acts correctly , responding to user commands.
In short, an update interesting in terms of novelties such as the design , but that do not increase its utility. The function that allows you to send a text message is appreciated, although it seems that, as always, will take time to arrive in Spain This version 2.0.2 of Facebook Messenger can now be download for mobiles and tablets with operating system Android via Google Play
