Some days ago Facebook was involved in a controversy because the popular social network intentionally caused failures in its application to see how much users were willing to endure.
A test that has generated a media stir, although it seems that no matter how much Facebook boycotted users, they continue to enter its social network. And now they have decided to show their chest showing a fact that makes it clear who is the king in social networks: more than 800 million active users per month on Facebook Messenger.
The Facebook Messenger application does not stop growing
To give you an idea of the magnitude of this figure, WhatsApp in September 2015 reached 900 million active users. Okay, they are the same company since Facebook bought the well-known instant messaging service for 22.000 million dollars, but now the reason is clear.
And it is that although many expected that Facebook would merge both services, it seems that the company has other intentions; developers of Facebook Messenger implement new improvements in the application, letting WhatsApp take its course.
These improvements include a new business-oriented approach, allowing the integration of customer service chat services from different companies, in addition to the possibility of making purchases through Facebook Messenger, in this way you can buy movie tickets, plane tickets ...
A really interesting idea that will allow access different services through the same application, without having to log in to various websites to buy certain products. We will see when this update will be available since it will honestly improve the possibilities of Facebook Messenger for Android.
Now you just need to optimize how God sends your application so that the battery consumption is not so noticeable, Android users have been complaining about this problem for a long time ... Anyway, it was to be expected that the growth of Facebook Messenger is so remarkable.
The company run by the young Mark Zuckerberg has managed to establish itself in the market thanks to the boom in social networks and the fact of being the first to offer an application in conditions in the application store.
As much as it is said that fewer and fewer people use social networks, it does not mean that they continue not to take advantage of its possibilities. And no one can deny that the instant messaging service Facebook Messenger is really effective and visually much more attractive than WhatsApp.
Now we just have to wait for them to implement these improvements to see what they will surprise us with Facebook this time. And please stop using your users as guinea pigs!
