De cateva saptamani de zile exista zvonuri care indica faptul ca Facebook se pregateste sa lanseze noi versiuni ale aplicatiilor Facebook Messenger pentru iOS si Android OS, iar astazi ele au fost confirmate. In perioada imediat urmatoare compania va lansa noile versiuni ale aplicatiilor in cele doua magazine de aplicatii si in imaginile acestui articol vedeti ce modificari sunt pregatite. Practic aplicatia pentru iOS va avea un design pregatit pentru noul iOS 7, astfel ca veti avea o interfata mult mai familiara cu tot ceea ce gasiti deja in aplicatiile native ale iOS.
In terms of functionality, there are a host of under-the-hood improvements to make sending and receiving messages faster, says product manager Peter Martinazzi. There are also some front-end tweaks that makes the app faster — especially on Android, where the SMS texting feature, which let you text friends who don’t have Facebook, has been removed.
Separat de de design, aplicatia va contine si imbunatatiri ale performantelor care vor face trimiterea/primierea de mesaje mult mai rapioda, insa si meniurile se vor incarca mult mai repede decat in trecut. In afara imbunatatirilor performantelor, aplicatia va integra numerele voastre de telefon, Facebook implementand un nou mod de a recunoaste utilizatorii, acesta fiind fiind similar cu cel al WhatsApp. Practic la prima deschidere aplicatia va cere inregistrarea folosind un numar de telefon, iar mai apoi utilizatorii care folosesc sistemul vor fi recunoscuti in baza aceleiasi metode.
While Facebook won’t let you text a phone number from Messenger, the company plans to use phone numbers in a new way: to identify its users, just like in WhatsApp. Upon opening Messenger for the first time, it will ask you to provide your phone number. Then, the app can match you with people whose numbers you have, but whom you aren’t Facebook friends with. Facebook guarantees your messages will reach somebody’s inbox if you have their phone number.
O versiune beta a aplicatiei va fi disponibila incepand de astazi pe platforma Android, versiunea pentru iOS urmanda fi lansata in viitorul apropiat.
