New Leaks reveal the new course of the messaging application Facebook Messenger And it is that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has not bet by phone calls over the Internet or by looping videos. The new step is in money transactions between users A possibility that this application will incorporate at some point in the near future to be able to esend money almost as if it were a normal message and current.
The information comes from some images and video taken by a computer science student from the Stanford University named Andrew Aude Thanks to an encryption tool, he found several hidden options in code of the latest version of Facebook Messenger for platform iOS from Apple Options that talk about money transmission very simple and directthrough this tool. Bank payments that can be made by simply selecting the amount and recipient
By activating this option in this version of the application, the user has the possibility to access the menu Settings and configure the configuration of payments for your debit card After that, all that remains is to access a conversation and, as if it were a photo or video, attach one of these payments for the other chat user.Undoubtedly, a surprising and revolutionary measure that is increasingly bringing payments closer to mobile phones.
Apparently, initially only debit cards could be used for this type of mobile transactions, since they carry fees smaller than credit cards. Therefore, and as seen in the filtered images, it is the only payment method that can be used in Facebook Messenger, leaving aside other such important and extensions like PayPal. Of course, this feature shouldn't have been discovered at the moment, and it's certainly not the final feature you'll see in the application when Facebook activates it in, which is assumed, the next few weeks. Therefore, things could change significantly at its official launch.
This discovery helps fit other pieces of the puzzle that Facebook has been working on. And it is that the signing of David Marcus, until then president of the service PayPal, was still a mystery, noting only the intention to make the messaging application profitable at some point once it exceeds 200 million users A point through which the passes sending money from user to user, leaving aside other models such as paid subscriptions.
At the moment it is unknown when it will be possible to start using this payment system. Nor is it known the tariff and rates that these transactions will entail. And we must not forget that sending money is not free. Thus, although the discoverer of this function has not found references to the rates, it is more than possible that you need to pay some minimum amount for each shipment.Faced with such doubts, all that remains is to wait for Facebook to confirm all this information and announce it officially
