In coming days, Facebook is going to stop its messaging services worldwide in Android and iPhone apps, and is going to ask users to download its separate messenger for chatting. At first Facebook experimented this strategy in Europe and it was successful and now they are planning to implement it worldwide. Facebook developers say that people can speed up their messaging by 20% through this new messenger as it will not be integrated with Facebook app.
Windows Phone, iPad, Desktop, and Mobile users can still message through their Facebook apps or website as they use to do before. Previously to chat on Facebook we had a shortcut of message icon on screen where notifications of message occurs to send and receive messages and we can switch of fast to have a chat on Facebook. But now, Android and iPhone users will get prior notifications to download Facebook Messenger through their registered email or while chatting before the new system gets updated so that in coming days users should not remain unaware of this.
Facebook did not publish this news in its post, but rather it started to notify directly to the users to download Messenger. In an official statement Facebook stated that they want to provide the Facebook users best experience in their messaging and for this purpose they have taken this step. Over millions of people use Facebook messaging for chatting purpose and they wanted to avoid the confusion in messaging from switching to the message tab in your Facebook wall again returning back to your home. The developers stated that they will work even better to make Facebook messaging a great way to connect with your friends.
The decision of migration of Facebook may be logical, but it’s not mandatory that all users will like it. Most of people like to chat through their Facebook accounts wall so as to enjoy multitasking. But Facebook developers researched that users send video, photos, stickers, group messages, and audios through messaging so they have made it a better experience to the users by providing with standalone app of Facebook messenger
This new Facebook messenger app is faster, cleaner and have new enjoyable ways to send messages, it has also improved since past months. Recently it has added video sharing feature in it, and also a Selfie button to take your photos instantly in to chat style and send it to your friends. People can also find it difficult to switch to this new Facebook messenger as lots of options such as whatsapp, Hike, Viber are available as standalone apps for chatting.
With enough time and data available on hand to settle upon it is a smart and right move made by Facebook to boost its messaging needs and to acquire more clients to the new Facebook messaging app. At the end, it would also have a feature like Facebook money, which could carry out transactions through your Facebook messaging app as in Moneygram. Currently people would not like forcing of Facebook to download its Messenger app but it seems that Zuckerberg has long plan to play upon.
