Facebook Messenger now allows you to install other apps on iPhone and iPad
As already announced last week, the company Facebook has many new plans for its messaging application Facebook Messenger And it is no longer a simple section of the social network where you can send and receive messages and stickers Now it is considered as a platform in itself. This means that it is possible to use other applications to improve and vitaminate chats and conversations, getting all kinds of additions to make this tool more extensive and varied.Questions that arrive in the form of an update to the platform iOS
Here comes the version 24.0 of Facebook Messenger for iPhone and iPad An update that is based on welcoming new applications that can be used through this messaging app. And it is that Facebook has already opened the ban for developers to create their own tools for take advantage through the chats. Of course, these additions can be found through Facebook Messenger, but they are still applications that have to be published through the store App Store Something that entails some security, but slower deadlines and quite high quality requirements.
Simply refresh Facebook Messenger to start searching through the App Store for apps with the last name For Messenger, as in the case of Talking Tom for MessengerA tool that allows you to enjoy this well-known and responsive cat through videos in which the character repeats everything the user says in a mocking voice. All this with the sole purpose of sharing it later through one of the Facebook Messenger conversations without any kind of problem or incompatibility. In fact, it is now possible to click on the Reply or Response button that appears under the content in the chat to automatically open the same application and create a reply with the same tool.
Something that is repeated not only with the funny videos of this chatty cat, but also with stickers, all kinds ofAnimations in GIF format, photo editing tools, and a long list of extra functions and features that are yet to come. And that is the strong point of transforming Facebook Messenger into a platform, leaving the door open to creativityand possibilities.
That yes, for now the process and service as a whole is not comfortable for users. And it is that the Messenger applications do not remain as mere additions, but as tools to use within the iPhone and the iPad This means occupying a pinch within the memory of the terminal, and also of the visual space And it is added as one more application, which must be actively accessed to create content that can then only be shared via Facebook Messenger A slow process, with too many steps and loads for the user Of course we are in the early stages of this new platform, so we will have to wait and see how it improves FacebookAll this.
At the moment the new version of Facebook Messenger is now available for download free through App Store Also, either from the messaging application itself or through the App Store , it is possible to search for third-party applications that have been developed for use on this now messaging platform.
