Facebook has begun to roll out a new feature in its iOS and Android Facebook Messenger app that allows users to send short voice messages to each other. The update is rolling out now and should appear in the app list shortly.
Facebook is also testing Voice calling through the messenger app using the VOIP (Voice Over IP) protocol (think Skype), although it will only be available in Canada at the moment. We can pretty much bet this is going to cause big waves in the phone carrier landscape should it go world wide.
New in Messenger 2.2:
- Send a quick voice message when you have more to say
- Call friends for free right from Messenger (Canada only)
- Other improvements and bug fixes
How is it working for you?
More updates as we get them along with a test drive!
