Facebook testing SMS, multiple accounts in MessengerFebruary 12, 2016 - 14:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook may revive a messaging feature it killed nearly three years ago: SMS integration. The company used to let Android users view and respond to text messages through its Facebook Messenger app, but it discontinued the feature in November 2013 due to poor adoption, the Verge reports. Now a near-identical option is popping up for a select few Android owners in the U.S., discovered Thursday, February 11. The change means Facebook Messenger could operate similar to Google Hangouts, which combines SMS texts and Google Chat messages into a single client. Facebook has confirmed the test, telling the Verge, "Right now, we’re testing the ability for people to easily bring all their conversations — from SMS and Messenger — to one place. It’s a really simple way to get, see, and respond to all your SMS messages in just one app. By choosing to access your SMS messages in Messenger, they’re right alongside all the other enhanced features that Messenger offers." Facebook is also launching multiple account support for its Android Messenger app Thursday. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
