Exciting Facebook Messenger Improvements of 2016!

Facebook quickly became one of the most used social media networks in the world. A lot has changed since it was first set upon the world and so has its Facebook Messenger companion app. If you’re a social fanatic then read on to discover cool features that have already been added as well as some exciting new ones that are just around the corner.

       1. Multiple Accounts

That’s right, you can now add an additional account to your Messenger app. While this feature might not be popular with everyone, if you share your device with people it’s great to easily be able to send and receive messages with your friends. You can also set each account to need a password every time that account is signed in to. That means nobody can read your messages or even know who has sent you one.

2. Emojis and Nicknames

Yep, you can now set nicknames to people. I know that got you excited, just wait for the rest of it. Another addition to the fold is setting a favorite emoji to send. As it stands the ‘like’ button can be held down and it’ll increase in size the longer you hold it. Well you can swap that thumbs up out and stick in your favorite emoji.

3. Color Schemes

Moving on from customizing your favorite emoji to customizing your chat itself. If you’re a bit fed up and bored of the blue color schemes that have plagued Facebook since its arrival then you’ll be glad to know you can now adjust and change them…I’d stay away from the vibrant pink though, it can be a little too strong on the eyes…

4. Video Calling

As if just writing words wasn’t enough, now you can see each other and have a more lifelike conversation. A while back Facebook added audio calling and now you can make video calls too, of course it makes it a little harder to get out of not responding once you have ‘seen’ the message.

Out with the old and in with the new, or in other words, let us now discuss some cool new features rather than bang on about the older improvements that are ‘so last year’.

       1. SMS is DEAD!?

Well not technically speaking, people still text each other all the time, however a big shift in momentum has turned itself to services such as WhatsApp for texting purposes. Facebook are toying with ideas to add SMS services into the messenger app, although as it currently stands you can message practically anybody with the app anyway, even if they don’t have a dedicated Facebook account.

2. Artificial Intelligence

Movies might make you think that artificial intelligence is dangerous ground to play in (although Will Smith did make one hell of a good action movie based on this premise). However Facebook are working on a friend call M. It’s a personal assistant that is like a human trained A.I. which will eventually enslave…I mean help us with anything we might need. There isn’t much info on what M might be used for but it’ll be cool to see it in action.

Add to that dashes of animated emojis that rain down snow flakes and quirky touches to keep younger audiences interested, secret plans we know nothing about and things to make your conversations personal, unique and fun to be in.
