Facebook Brings Back SMS Feature To Messenger For Android by TechsNG: 6:27am On Jun 16, 2016 |
This isn’t the first time Facebook is introducing SMS feature to its messenger app for Android users. It was initially in existence until around 2012 when it was removed by Facebook. Now, Facebook is bringing back the SMS feature for Android users on the messenger platform. Basically, what the SMS feature does is, users can choose the messenger app as their preferred SMS app. I.e, users will be able to send and receive standard texts, images, videos and audio. Including rich contents such as stickers and emojis. Other form of content like GIFs, video and calls etc would have to be communicated using the messenger instead. Facebook assures you that your privacy is safe as it doesn’t send, upload or store any of your conversations on its servers as all messages are sent and received via standard SMS protocol and not cellular data. If you’d like to use the messenger app as your default SMS app on Android, simply make sure you are running the latest version of messenger. Thereafter, launch the app and tap on settings > select SMS and turn it on as the default SMS app. Source: http://www.techsng.com/2016/06/facebook-re-introduces-sms-feature-messenger-android.html 2 Likes 1 Share

No The way they steal information and drain battery is alarming, I will continue to use only the Web version until that day they will forced everyone to the app. With Web, at least I'm assured that when I close the browser, their activities stops Are you concern about privacy or whether they will display your number?
