News & Reviews:   messenger

In this era of AI, Mark Zuckerberg just announced a new Meta AI website. At the moment, the website is not available for Malaysians yet but here's what we know so far. 

If you are familiar with Meta apps like Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter, this news might interest you. Recently, Meta announced that Facebook Messenger will feature end-to-end encryption for chats and calls as the default setting in the latest update. So, what should you know about it?

Previously, the broadcast feature is exclusive to WhatsApp. But that won’t stay for long, Meta is aiming to bring the same feature to Messenger and Facebook soon. That said, what should you know about it?

Looks like the Internet is going to be more interesting. Recently, Meta rolled out new AI updates for its apps. That includes WhatsApp, Instagram and even Facebook Messenger. That said, what should you know about it?

In 2016, Meta (then still known as Facebook) introduced Messenger Lite, an app aimed at less powerful Android devices which eventually expanded to all smartphones. Well, the company recently revealed that it is discontinuing the app, with the last day of support being 18 September 2023.

Facebook announced that SMS messages will no longer be available when you update your Messenger app. If you use Facebook Messenger as your default SMS messaging app on Android, this feature will no longer be available after the update on 28 September 2023.

Today, Facebook released a new statement about its performance this first quarter of the year. Besides talking about AI algorithm discovery, creators and monetization, the company also shared that it may bring back the Messenger app into Facebook like before.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that the company is in the midst of testing AI-powered tools for its products. These would include AI-powered chats on its messaging platforms, WhatsApp and Messenger.

Facebook and Messenger recently announced the introduction of Community Chats, a feature that allows group organisers to create curated live Messenger chat groups similar to Discord. Through the feature, users can browse chats organised by announcements, topics, events and more instead of just relying on feed posts and comments.

Sadly, Meta has announced that the rollout of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Messenger and Instagram will get postponed to 2023. Therefore, it looks like there's still a long time to go before we get the highly demanded feature for the messaging services.
