You Can Now Send SMS Messages Via Facebook Messenger
You Can Now Send SMS Messages Via Facebook Messenger
As earlier reported 12 weeks ago while on beta phase, DavidMarcus (Former President at PayPal) took to his Facebook page yesterday to announce that you can now send SMS via Facebook Messenger on Android.
In his words,
A lot of Android texting apps didnt keep up with the evolution of messaging, so we felt like we truly had to make Messenger the best SMS client for Android. As a result, in addition to having a fully integrated app for all your messaging,
youre now able to send voice clips, stickers, and even share your location over SMS on top of standard texting features. You will now also enjoy all the things youve come to love about Messenger for all your messages, including chat heads and more.
Just go to settings, select SMSand turn on Default SMS App. This will ensure all your SMS conversations appear in Messenger as purple threads, alongside your blue Facebook chats.
Your chat experience just took a new turn... but note that standard SMS fees still apply.
