Facebook may not be as popular today as other social media platforms, but o Facebook Messenger, is still used by billions. Previously it was part of Facebook, but later it was introduced as a standalone app. This allows many to use the messaging platform without having a Facebook account.
Although the Messenger δεν έχει τόσο πολλές δυνατότητες όσο οι ανταγωνιστές του, διαθέτει όλα τα βασικά στοιχεία μιας εφαρμογής επικοινωνίας, όπως τη δυνατότητα συνομιλίας, υποστήριξη για SMS, φωνητικές/video calls and more.
Now, Meta is adding end-to-end encrypted conversations (E2EE from end-to-end encrypted) to Messenger's core features. This means you can use all the features of the app, chat topics, emoji reactions and more, completely encrypted.
These features were absent from Messenger's end-to-end encrypted chats, but with the new update, you can have them. In addition, users also have the ability to set different group names photos profiles for their friends and colleagues.
Another addition to the area of end-to-end encrypted chats is that link previews. A status indicator will also show your contacts when you're using the app and you're online.
Chat Bubbles is also coming back to Android. For those who don't remember, Bubbles allow an easier way to approach people from the home screen. The contacts you're chatting with are in a floating bubble on your home screen. You can click on the “bubble” and start sending messages.
The update that includes all of these new Facebook Messenger features hasn't rolled out for everyone yet, as Meta reports on her official blog that the feature is rolling out "gradually".
