Facebook is continuing its assault
on SMS and competitors like
WeChat and Line today by
expanding its “contact via phone
number” feature to Messenger for
iOS . The option launched on
Android to a select set of testers at
the end of October, and is being
pushed to all Androiders as well as
all iOS users. The update is rolling
out now and also brings a cleaner
layout, and faster start-up and
navigation.
The intention of Facebook is that they don't want
you to have to switch to SMS to
contact someone who you have the
phone number of but aren’t friends
with. It seems Facebook wants to run down other chatting apps like wechat, whatsapp, snaptu, etc just the same way android sent Nokia packing in the market. Even dummies now use smartphones, let's watch and see how the competition in the chatting world goes. We'll be here to keep you informed.
