Facebook Messenger App: Facebook Getting Serious About Voice

Page 2 of 2

Facebook also recently opened up its Messenger app to people who don’t even have a Facebook account–all the better to add new users quickly in emerging markets where Facebook is seeking to grow quickly and add SMS functionality. SMS is a major sector that many are going after, seeking to be the next generation of mobile communications. Facebook also recently launched Poke, a SnapChat competitor that lets users send photos, videos or text messages that disappear after several seconds.

Even though the ability to make free voice calls is only available to iPhone users in Canada at the present time, it is safe to say that Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has intentions on expanding to other areas of the world at some point in the near future.

Are you currently using the Facebook Messenger app? Will new voice features bring you to use the app more often?
