To send a voice message, tap the + button beside where you traditionally
type a message in the Messenger app. Then select Record, holding the
button down to speak. When you release the Record button, your voice
message will be sent to your recipient.
Along with today's update, Facebook has also started testing VoIP
functionality in Canada. iPhone users in the country can try the feature
by tapping the "I" button in the top right corner of a conversation
with a person they would like to call, and then tapping Free Call.
Important to note: While free to use, these VoIP calls will use your
existing data plan, which could get pricey if you use the feature often.
Messenger is one of several stand-alone apps developed by Facebook.
The company often uses the apps to test new features with power users
before deciding which features to include in the traditional Facebook
app for the social network's general audience.
Late last month Facebook released a new stand-alone app called Poke,
which allows users to send short photo, text, or video messages to
Facebook friends. Messages sent via Poke expire after a certain period
of time (one to 10 seconds).
Will you use Messenger for voice messaging with friends? Let us know in the comments what you think about the new feature.
