Multiple accounts in Facebook Messenger

- Facebook wants to make it possible to receive SMS messages in its Messenger app. In addition, test the ability to support multiple accounts in the messaging app.

Facebook has confirmed to technology site Engadget that it is both features currently testing. 'In Messenger, we always try to develop new ways to connect people as easy as possible to communicate,' says a spokeswoman for Facebook. 'Currently, we are testing the ability of people to all their conversations- to bring to one place- SMS and Messenger. It is a very simple way to see all your text messages and answer in just one app. '

In the past, Messenger already offered support for SMS, but Facebook has removed the option a few years ago because little use was made. Perhaps the company thinks that the time now is ripe.

The support of multiple accounts within Messenger let Facebook know that millions of people share their phone with their family and friends, but that so far there was no easy way to access their individual Messenger account on a shared device. The new feature is currently only available for Android, it does make possible.

The allegation of Facebook that millions of people share their smartphone is not very credible. However, the feature can be useful on tablets, these devices are quite often shared within a family. In addition, more and more people both private and business Messenger account.
