Facebook Messenger app update brings back messages as its top feature
Facebook has just updated
its messaging app. Starting today, Messenger will sort your conversations in
tabs instead of having them in a confusing list.
At the top of the
homescreen, there is a tab called Messages where all one-to-one conversations
are listed. The second tab is called Active and you can see if someone is
online or when they were last online on Messenger, while the third tab is
called Groups - this is the place for all the group chats.
On the bottom of the app you will find tabs
for the homescreen and calls, positioned left from the camera shutter for
Stories. Searching for people and playing games is on the opposite side.
According to Facebook VP David Marcus, a
Discover tab will appear as well. And don’t worry about missing any messages,
Facebook has implemented a red dot to notify you if there is anything you've
missed.
The update should be rolling out worldwide
this week to both Android and iOS. If Messenger still feels bloated, you can
always download Messenger Lite that saves data and skips on multiple useless
features.
