Λοιπόν, οι φήμες ήταν αληθινές: Το Facebook Messenger μπορεί να στείλει μηνύματα κειμένου SMS αλλά μόνο από συσκευές Android προς το παρόν, όπως μπορεί να το κάνει και το Google Hangouts.
It looks like Messenger wants to become an application for all kinds of communication and seems to be doing just fine.
According to David Marcus, a Facebook product manager, will not just be a simple text messaging application.
You will also be able to send voice clips, stickers or share your location except from the usual features such as photos and videos.
He istreatment of SMS to Facebook Messenger (it was one of the few advantages Hangouts had) shows the company's intentions. Google Hangouts after this move probably won't survive.
You can think of the new addition as another way that uses Facebook to make sure no one leaves their ecosystem. The update has already started rolling out to “more countries”, but there is no mention of an iOS app.
