Facebook Messenger “read receipts” are even easier to understand than those long-found on BlackBerry Messenger, and they work for group messaging too. The apps now display “Seen by Peter, Josh, Justin” right under a sent message. The read receipts mean you won’t have Read More
Is Facebook reading your text messages?
Calendar16 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:31:42 UTC +00:00
Adding to the recent privacy scare that has been taking place among iOS apps, London-based newspaper Sunday Times is reporting that popular social network Facebook has read users’ text messages. In the report, Sunday Times says that when Facebook was gearing up to launch their new Messenger app, they “admitted” to reading text messages. Facebook’s Messenger app plays a similar role to texting, letting you quickly fire off messages to your Facebook friends. It’s not known if the issue still continues, but is scary nonetheless… Sunday Times doesn’t give any factual evidence behind their report, only citing unnamed sources. There’s a chance that this could be wrong, so be mindful. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if Facebook did such a thing — seeing as many apps already do similar. Path, for instance, was found earlier this month uploading user’s address books without asking. Although Path said it was to bring better service to Read More

Nosotros en su día llegamos a usar esta aplicación desde la cual se controlan los mensajes de ‘chat’ y/o los ‘privados’. ¿No leíste nada sobre Facebook Messenger?

Facebook Messenger receives update
Calendar16 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:16:02 UTC +00:00
By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Oct 19, 2011 | Facebook Messenger for iPhone has been updated and brings the ability to see when the other person is typing, shows if a person is online or mobile, and has the people you message most quickly accessible. Despite Facebook’s claim of bringing the ability to see when the other person is typing, I haven’t seen any such indication. How about you?

With Messenger, you can send and receive messages with any of your friends around the world or anyone in your mobile contacts list. Messenger is available on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.

Facebook Messenger goes global

By Leanna Lofte, Thursday, Sep 15, 2011 | Last month, Facebook introduced their new messaging app, Facebook Messenger, but it was only available in the US and Canada. Not anymore – Facebook Messenger is now available worldwide! At first, I was reluctant to use Facebook Messenger because Facebook hasn’t exactly had a great track record with Facebook for iPhone. However, I’ve been pleased with Facebook Messenger because of how quick it is and the fact that it’s not nearly as buggy as Facebook for iPhone.

10 Aug 2011 alle 22:00 E’ da poche ore disponibile nell’App Store USA la nuova applicazione di istant messaging targata Facebook. L’applicazione è al momento disponibile solo nel mercato d’oltre oceano, ma a breve, così come testimonia la pagina Facebook dedicata, approderà anche nel mercato Italiano. L’applicazione, rilasciata a sorpresa, racchiuderà in un’unica interfaccia minimale ogni singola conversazione con i nostri contatti salvati nel profilo. Sarà possibile, oltre allo scambio di messaggi di testo, inviare e ricevere foto ed immagini, e utilizzare la geolocalizzazione per mostrare ai propri amici la nostra posizione. E’ presente, inoltre, il supporto nativo alle chat di gruppo. Non mancano ovviamente le notifiche push, per essere avvisati in ogni momento dell’arrivo di nuovi messaggi. Per chi fosse interessato a provare Messenger per iPhone può scaricarla attraverso questo link dallo Store USA. Ovviamente vi informeremo il prima possibile non appena l’applicazione verrà  rilasciata nell’App Store italiano. Read More

Facebook Messenger is a brand new iPhone app from Facebook that lets you send and receive text messages to and from your friends on Facebook. Using push notifications you can use the the new Facebook Messenger app as a pseudo replacement for SMS Text Messaging, and save a few dollars especially when traveling abroad.

Thanks to push notifications, just check for a mobile iPhone icon next to their name. If you and your friends all have the new app, you will save on text messaging costs.

Facebook Messenger Soars to Top Free iPhone App
Calendar16 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:47:57 UTC +00:00
by So far it seems Facebook’s Messenger app is a hit. After launching just Tuesday afternoon, it’s already the number-one free app in the iTunes App Store. The iOS app has more than 600 customer reviews and with 900 ratings has 3.5 of five stars. The app has the potential to chip away at the hold of cell carriers. It allows users to send messages and texts through the 750-million-member social network, and it updates in real time, so there’s no need to refresh to see if you’ve received new messages. “This is replacing text messages in my dock!” one iOS reviewer wrote. The negative reviews in both the App Store and the Android Market are mostly critical of Facebook now having two apps (though the company told Mashable it does plan to integrate the new message functionality into the main app) and of the fact that Messenger isn’t an instant Read More

Back in February Facebook acquired Beluga, a hot group messaging startup well known for having a killer 3-person team. At the time, fellow TC writer MG Siegler wondered aloud whether Facebook would release a standalone messaging app (which is what Beluga is), or if it had plans to work the technology and team into its recently-revamped Messages product, which it unveiled last fall. Today, we’ve got our answer: Facebook is launching a standalone application called Messenger for iOS and Android, and it deeply fuses the best features of Beluga with Facebook Messages (and Facebook’s 750 million users). The app will be rolling out today on Apple’s App Store, and should be available immediately on Android Market. Update: Here’s the link for the iPhone app and Android app. (It looks like the app is still rolling out to some servers, so you may get an error). If you’ve used Beluga before, the app Read More
Facebook has released Facebook Messenger, an iPhone app focused on chat and messaging. The dedicated app allows users to send messages directly to friends whether they are on phones or using the Facebook website. Messenger is a separate app, so it only takes one click to get to your messages or send a new one. Messages are delivered through notifications and texts, so your friends are more likely to get them right away. You can use Messenger to reach all of your friends -- whether they're on Facebook or in your phone contacts. All you have to do is type the person's name. The app is integrated with the Facebook messaging and chat service and all conversations are archived as part of ongoing conversations on Facebook. The app allows users to share their location and attach photos to conversations. Users aren't restricted to chatting with one friend either, group conversations are Read More
Facebook has announced Facebook Messenger, a dedicated app for Facebook messaging. It's already possible to send messages and chat within the standard Facebook app for the iPhone, but this new app hopes to streamline the process by putting the focus squarely on the chat interface. Messages can be delivered through both notifications and texts, and you'll have the ability to message back and forth with people in your iPhone's Contacts list in addition to your Facebook friends. Texts, chats, emails, and messages are consolidated in the same interface. Facebook hopes this will go a long way toward streamlining communication with your friends, particularly when trying to co-ordinate plans with large groups of people -- something that traditional email, SMS, and even the standard Facebook app's messaging interface all make much clumsier than necessary. Facebook Messenger is not yet available on the App Store as of press time, but it should be Read More

Reviews

Still. Doesn't. Work.
Carl Black 1.0 stars Version: 1.5.3
Update: the app has been updated three times since the below review, and none of the "bug fixes" have included actually making the app usable. Yes, it still does just as before: launches, moves in ultra slow-motion, and then crashes. That's it. No ability to actually compose or reply to a message, and you have to read quickly before it crashes.Before the update, this app worked wonderfully. Then FB decided to add features no one wanted or requested; and as with all things FB, no testing was done. The new version is painfully slow and constantly crashes. Great concept; colossal failure.
