Although it is still in beta, the 4.0 update of the Facebook Messenger application for mobile devices that is expected in the coming weeks will bring great news that will improve the user experience, such as the expected creation of groups or shortcuts to all conversations .
One of the applications that has grown the most in recent months has been Facebook Messenger. The commitment of the social network for this chat was firm from the beginning and the truth is that users have begun to install it to contact their friends in a very simple way through Facebook without having to enter the application of the network itself . Little by little the developers are adding new functionalities and version 4.0 will bring several new features quite interesting for everyone who uses it on a daily basis.
The most important is the possibility of create groups with those people with whom we contact the most. Like WhatsApp, Telegram and other alternatives, we can name the group and establish an image to identify it more easily. On the other hand, now we can also forward any photo or message to other contacts just select it and press the corresponding option, so that we do not have to send or write the text again.
Another novelty is related to Shortcuts. Basically now we can create these shortcuts to conversations on our main screen so that no need to open the app to write to our friends. Finally, Facebook Messenger has improved the performance of the application to make it faster and more reliable.
If you are one of those who almost always chat with the same contacts, groups will be a very interesting option, something similar to what happens with shortcuts, which makes it easier to jump from one conversation to another without having to open the app. As we said, these changes are now available in the beta version 4.0, so it is necessary to be registered in the program of beta testers to enjoy it before the final version comes out. To do this it is very simple: join the group Android Beta Testers Google, become a tester for Facebook Messenger from your link to Play Store and update the application.
