Apple Watch Gets Facebook Messenger

Apple has finally launched the Facebook messenger for its Apple Watch which will enable the users to send and receive voice messages, emojis etc. Apple has now officially launched Facebook messenger on its Apple Watch. The new Facebook messenger on Apple watch will now allow users to send stickers, voice notes, likes, emojis and much more. Facebook messenger on WatchOS2 was released on Thursday and is supported only by the latest version of IOS software. The updated app is now available for download from the iTunes store. The WatchOS2 users can now easily access to their Facebook messages using the FB messenger. The messenger on watch will be useful when you have your handset in your bag and you want to reply to a message promptly. For that you can use your Apple watch. You can not answer the messages either by sending stickers, like or select from predetermined answers. The messenger will also allow the users to send and receive voice messages using a built-in microphone in the watch. Photos can also accessed from the watch. The watch however won’t support animated sticker and GIFs. If you are used they will show as static on the messenger app. The app is handy as users can send and receive messages quickly as they won’t be able to send long messages through the app. It needs to be seen whether the Facebook messenger app will work well with the watch or not. Facebook messenger can now also be accessed from iPad’s multitasking apps. The messenger contacts and conversations can now also be searched from the screen of users’ iPhones as announced by Apple and Facebook. So you can now keep yourself updated with your friends and family even without your phone and laptop through the Apple watch Facebook messenger. It needs to be seen when Apple will launch the full version of the much awaited Facebook app which the company had hinted to launch soon back in March 2015. Analysts in the tech industry who have been keeping a track on the giant’s movement on its smart watch are of the opinion that this step of the iPhone makers is a huge step for the social networking giant, as it will help it to get more users on his network. On the other hand, for all its valuable customers which are opting for the smart watch, the tech company has already announced that all the users have to do is to update their OS on the Watch and they will be good to go.
