Facebook Messenger now supports SMS
Facebook has announced that Messenger users can now use SMS in the application.
“Today we are enabling people to use SMS in Messenger for Android. You will now have the choice to send and receive your SMS in Messenger and will not have to go to different screens,” said Facebook.
To use SMS in Messenger, users must:
- Open Messenger and tap on Settings
- Select “SMS” from the list
- Turn on “Default SMS app”
“Your SMS conversations will be in purple and your Messenger conversations will be in blue.”
SMS in Messenger supports text, images, videos, and audio, but also rich content like stickers, emojis, and location sharing.
“The feature is only available on Android. However, when you send an SMS message, the recipient can be on any platform.”
Standard SMS fees apply.
