The reasons why Facebook Messenger has appeared as a separate app from what was Facebook They may be due in part to the objective that Facebook has that its social network in its own app for mobile devices does not have so much content, since we are facing an application that almost literally drinks the megabytes daily.
Facebook Messenger He was resurrected a few months ago as an app that works perfectly when we navigate through it and to which a series of characteristics has been assigned, most of them remain unknown to the vast majority of users who only use it to contact their friends or family who are on the social network. Below you can find some of them that may surprise you with what can be done with this messaging app.
Image Search
From the menu in a conversation you can use image search to find the one you want to share directly with one of your contacts in order to save yourself having to open another application and then share through Facebook Messenger.
A functionality that is very useful for some cases.
Send quick audio notes
This is a feature that is present in the same WhatsApp and here it works the same. Click on the microphone icon and a small red button will appear. You keep it pressed to record the voice note that you want to send to your contact directly the moment you finish pressing the icon.
Geolocation to show where you are
Geolocation through a map can come in handy in circumstances where do you want to share your location with your friends to show them in which gambling den you are so that staying is easier.
When composing a message, next to the emoticon icon, you will find the location icon, you activate it and when you send the message the address where you are will appear. The contact that receives the message can, from the menu, click on "see map", so that a map with your location appears.
Take photos or video quickly
To do this, you can use any of the camera apps you have on your phone, but if you don't want to waste time opening them, like the search function in Messenger, you can capture a photo or video from the same app.
You can use both the front camera to take a selfie or the rear camera to take both video and photography. To record a video you must press and hold the icon.
