This is the new design of Facebook Messenger
A few days ago the intentions of Facebook of renewing its Facebook messaging application were known Messenger And it is that some images of the team of betatesters or test users who were already using this new version to debug any error and achieve a good functioning for its launch to the rest of the users. Well, the day has come and the renewed version of Facebook Messenger can now be enjoyed by all users of Android devices A most interesting facelift that we will discuss below.
This is a renewal of shape and appearance of this messaging application. A tool that focuses on the contacts and messages section of the social network Facebook, and that shows a clear attempt by this company to gain a foothold in the competitive field of messaging applications where WhatsApp continues to be the queen. However, the work of Facebook should not be detracted from in simplifying and improving its application, and it is now more attractive and much more practical although the changes are predominantly visual
Thus, the first thing that can be appreciated is even the change in the design of the icon of the application.A variation that is close to the aesthetic lines of what was seen in iOS 7, where the colors are flat and simple But what is really striking is inside the application, where the style of Apple has soaked this application to the bone. Proof of this is the white color that floods every tab and menu of the application, despite the fact that the news has reached the platform Android in the first place. And not only that, since the images of contacts and profiles now have a circular formatAll this achieving a sensation of cleanliness and simplicity most pleasant, although somewhat aseptic
However, this is a great movement, and the fact is that the operation of the application has been reduced to the minimum expression, looking for one of the keys that has managed to catapult WhatsApp to fame: simplicitySo now there is only one screen and three tabs where to display all the information. The first lists all the recent conversations, being able to resume any of them from here with a single touch of the screen. The second tab, for its part, shows the Facebook contacts, both those who use Facebook Messenger and those who are only users of the social network To easily differentiate them there is a small iconnext to your profile photo. Finally, there is the settings tab, where you can manage notifications and other related matters.
Within conversations, the mechanics are similar, although again the style of flat colors in which white and blueis more than present.The functions of sending photos, sounds, the Like symbol and, of course, their charismatic emoticons or stickers are still fully active animated Well known for the charismatic cat, although there are other collections.
Also notable is the new collection of sounds that accompany the visual changes. Notifications both when receiving and sending messages, or special sounds for stickers that make using this app nice and attractive. All of this without forgetting the charismatic conversation bubbles, useful to avoid having to change applications to answer a message.
In short, a change in style that draws directly from issues such as the simplicity of WhatsApp, or the operating system iOS 7All this to create a pleasant and fluid messaging tool. Now it will be necessary to see if the users decide for her or not. At the moment this new version is available for terminals Android through Google Play En completely free
