Facebook Messenger App Is Now Faster, Less Prone To Bugs

Facebook Messenger today received a modest update. The mobile messaging service now includes faster message scrolling and a quicker startup, among other improvements. First launched for iOS in August, Facebook Messenger lets users send messages instantly to other friends also using Messenger. Among its features, Facebook Messenger includes:

• Chat with friends who are on Facebook
• Get free push notifications for incoming messages
• Add location and photos to messages
• Reach friends via text message if they don't have Messenger yet
• Access sent and received messages on both Messenger and Facebook
• Create group conversations for making plans on the go
• Add more friends to group conversations at any time
• Control alert and location settings for each conversation

The Version 1.5.2. update also includes a fix for the app’s “blue screen” startup crash, Retina display photos for friend chooser, and bug fixes. The free Facebook Messenger is available now for the iPhone/iPod touch in the App Store.
