Meta Platforms is testing re-introducing Messenger to its Facebook app to make it easier for users to access their inboxes.<\/p>\n
The company said it would roll out more ways to integrate messaging into the social media platform over the coming year.<\/p>\n
“We are testing the ability for people to access their Messenger inbox within the Facebook app and you’ll see us expand this testing soon,” it said in a blog post<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n “Over the coming year, we’ll build more ways to integrate messaging features in Facebook.”<\/p>\n “Ultimately, we want it to be easy and convenient for people to connect and share, whether in the Messenger app or directly within Facebook,” Meta added.<\/p>\n The company separated Messenger<\/a><\/strong> from the Facebook mobile app in April 2014, shortly after it outlined a strategy to focus on specialized “apps” for smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n The move meant that Facebook users wanting to access their messages had to install a stand-alone Messenger app.<\/p>\n Meta has been working to improve security in its messaging features on Facebook and Instagram for some time. After several delays, it began testing end-to-end encryption<\/a><\/strong> in August 2022.<\/p>\n It also started testing secure storage for Messenger to allow users to back up their end-to-end encrypted conversations.<\/p>\n “We’re working hard to protect your personal messages and calls with end-to-end encryption by default on Messenger and Instagram,” Facebook said at the time.<\/p>\n The company separated Messenger from the Facebook mobile app in April 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":450692,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[36075,161,3560,73842],"class_list":["post-482989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet","tag-end-to-end-encryption","tag-facebook","tag-messenger","tag-meta-platforms"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482989"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":483035,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482989\/revisions\/483035"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
