Why did Facebook launch a chat application for smartphones?

After the successes achieved by the chat services, starting with theBBM ThroughWhatsApp And finish serving iMessageCompanies have started heading in another direction in this field, as this service is no longer limited to a specific type of device or application, but rather has been integrated into social networks, as we have seen with Google+. In this regard, too, the Facebook network was launched a few days ago Take a new step To improve the level of service; As it launched the Facebook Messenger mobile application on two platforms: Android و iOS. This application, as its name indicates, is a conversation application, but it differs from the chat feature on Facebook by two things: the first is that it is independent of the site and is directed specifically to mobile phones, the second, and based on the first, it is characterized by access to contacts on the device and not only friends of the site.

To many, this step seemed to be like improving the Facebook image in front of his new opponent, Google+ (We talked about it earlier) Especially since the service is very similar to the Huddle feature provided by Google in its application on mobile phones. But the decision may seem hasty, especially if we take into account that the application is separate from the Facebook application, which means increasing the number of applications without real benefit, unlike what Google did by including the Huddle feature for the Google+ application itself. When compared to similar services, we find that Facebook did not provide anything new to force the user to leave his previous applications. Most of the similar apps allow exchanging photos, locating geographical locations, and sending group messages. Thus, I find that there is no real need for it, so when you want to talk to someone on Facebook, either he is on your friends list and then you can chat with him via Facebook Chat or he can be added to the contacts on your device and you can chat with him through other applications. But we have to wait for the next update, as Facebook may make a drastic update that increases the usefulness of the application.

You can download the program for free from the software store

Do you think that this application is important in one way or another? Do you have any intention to use it even though the Facebook application itself contains a chat service, and why?

I imagine what a hobby is a difference from the rest of the chat programs for those in the phone contact list because if they are not registered with their mobile numbers on Facebook, they will not appear at the person using the application

And I did not download it

Hi
Please, i have a question
If I come to write comments on the Apple Store or YouTube, my comment will not come out even though I have accounts with them
Please, I scared you guys of goodness, even though I decided to leave and enter again and tried and what was written.

When I searched, read, and asked about Facebook when it was first born ... I did not like this (apart from some opinions about intelligence) ... being exposed by everyone to everyone ... as if we were in a hall or a large garden with no limit, no veil, and no privacy between groups of society (and this is something Normal and cultural for Western societies).

However, I created a Facebook account when the Arab revolutions started :) .. But that didn't change my personal opinion about Facebook and all social media tools in general. Many tools can be used to do good or the opposite :)
We pray to God Almighty to guide us to do good for our religion and our world.

    Google has taken advantage of some of the weaknesses of Facebook and from these points of personal privacy and control them, so it avoided that point in its social network Google Plus https://plus.google.com/

Installed the program;
But I never felt that there was a benefit!
From my point of view, it is important to know who is calling from my list of other friends!
It also loses some of the features that, as the author of the article - praised for his work, mentioned - he lacks many features that do not make me leave other communication programs for him ..
B waiting for the new update of the program, hoping to improve it.
Anyway, thank you iPhone Islam.. Thank you, the author of the article 

Abu Muhammad

Brothers based on the site
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Our Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, has instructed us to advise and deny the evil, so it is not permissible for you to publish pictures of women as in the above subject, so you must blame them for publishing them, and bare those who publish them, and burden everyone who looks at them. God Almighty is above, and I have also noticed the publication of clips containing music and songs. Fear God in your words and deeds and in all your affairs, and seek what brings you closer to your Lord, especially in this blessed month in which good deeds and bad deeds are multiplied.
May God protect you and take care of you.
Your love in God.

The program means the status of WhatsApp. So, there is nothing new.
But I think it's an attempt to compete with Apple's iMessage

I have the same problem with the group, I get the news a day late! Why? 

comments user

The program is very bad, every time I receive a message and open it to approve it, the program hangs up and then turns off by itself, so I told it because it has no use

Hi
I ran it a coincidence while I was searching the programs a few days ago
For me, it is distinguished and comfortable in the conversation and messages of the hosts on the Facebook page because the regular Facebook applications are tired of dealing with the hosts, especially if they are not available, and the application on the contrary is quick to communicate with the hosts even when they are not present

If you leave it, it is good, and if you leave Facebook all of it, then it is light on light, because the site is mainly intelligence.
We, as Arabs, only want Swalif, chat and the like.
This is my opinion

I have not tried it, but my point of view is the same as that of the author of the article, if you want to talk to a friend on Facebook, then he should enter the Facebook application, and if you want someone on the list then he will use WhatsApp, for example, nothing new from my point of view. Thanks for the feedback

comments user

Almost everyone is known to the intelligence nature of Facebook and its use to find out acquaintances, relatives and interests ... etc. I believe the new application is nothing but a way to find out more of your knowledge (knowing your friends' phone numbers, for example) and who is not necessarily added to your Facebook account itself ... just an opinion

    comments user
    Mazen

    All programs, especially chat programs, are required
    Log in to the user's contacts and even request registration with his phone number for many purposes, including: data trade, such as the number of users and statistics
    Regions, age groups and many others, which have become one of the most important sources of income for these companies.
    As for the intelligence services, detectives and the like, be sure, my dear, if they want to reach you, there are a thousand ways and methods for that, perhaps one of the simplest is through your uncle's son):
    Let us let go of the obsession that we are watching, the eyes are on us, the ears are listening and the cameras are watching us, because we have two accounts in the bank, one of them is empty, and we entered with a swipe in the literature exam for the third year of secondary school, Department of Natural Sciences, the second semester, the first floor. It means in the vernacular dialect "you don't have anyone"
    Please accept my appreciation and respect

The frankness of the program was carried out from the date of its release, but it did not unify any benefit, I mean, the Facebook program is faithful to the chat service, but the original does not know what is the purpose of this program.

comments user
Memoxnumx

It suffices to follow the chat programs because it is a lot.
But if there is something tangible and new in the application and is differentiated from others, then it will bear and take a resonance for it. As for the same people, we did not benefit
