What brings new Facebook Messenger in its latest update
Table of contents:
Facebook launches a new version of Messenger that renews its image and updates its logo, with an attractive combination of bluish, violet and pink. These, together with the background gradient, are very reminiscent of the current Instagram image. Also, from now on there will be new themes within the chat, which can be customized and exchanged. In addition, more reactions to messages arrive through emojis and other graphic elements.Later, we will also see personal stickers land, based on our physical traits.
It is clear that the idea of Facebook is that users spend more time on the platform. Therefore, many of these features are focused on entertainment, which relegates Facebook Messenger to a personal and non-professional environment. It is a matter of time before the total integration of the company's communication services is unified. The first step will be the disappearance of Instagram Direct and its replacement by Facebook Messenger and, we are very afraid, that later it will be WhatsApp's turn.
Facebook's future plans for Messenger
For some years now, Facebook has very serious plans for messaging applications located within its domains.The union of all its systems, until now independent, aims to bring together millions of users in the same place In this way, WhatsApp, Instagram Direct and Facebook Messenger will work in unison . However, for now these three applications continue to acquire news individually.
The changes in each version hint at the company's plans for its header messaging application. It is not surprising that these are mainly focused on meeting the growing demand for video calls between friends and family. Not surprisingly, in recent months we have seen several interesting features arrive, such as the possibility of watching videos with other participants, the creation of video call rooms and other interactive activities between two or more participants.
For now, we can enjoy Messenger and its news on Android and iOS, which includes a version for the iPad.In addition, you can download the official application for Windows and MacOS or by accessing it from the web. This makes it a true cross-platform application ready to work from any place and device.
