Facebook Announcements



 he Social Media giant has made changes again, Facebook announced today that Android users will enjoy free VoIP calling capabilities on the Messenger app. This feature will be released to US users first, but it's going to be a gradual thing don't expect to have this added benefit immediately. Facebook will roll this out gradually to U.S. users, so don't expect to be able to use it immediately. Anyone with Facebook Home, which is the newest update on the Mobile app, can currently use VoIP to call friends.

Below are directions on how to make calls on Facebook. Keep in mind, Facebook Home is the only user ready option to date. This will speed up conversations that may shift from an inbox message, to a phone call. Also, It would be a great way to save minutes, if on a plan that measures every second of use on a cell phone.

To call someone on Facebook using VoIP technology within the Android Messenger app, tap the "info icon" at the top right corner of the screen, then tap "free call."

For Facebook Home users, start a call within a "Chat Head" by tapping the three dots next to the person's name, opening the conversation in Messenger, then tapping "info" and then "free call."

Some users may be surprised to know, that on the Facebook messenger app, we can already leave voice recordings within the message to our friends and family. This became available to users in early 2013, yet reports show little usage and many who were completely unaware of the opportunity. To do this on the Messenger app, tap on the plus sign in the bottom left hand corner. click record voice and record your message with unlimited space. Also take a look at the tool bar that pops up and enjoy other services you may not have known about.

Promoted Posts Changes On Facebook Equals Ease And Accessibility

Another new change comes for the Page Owners of Facebook. "Promoted Posts" have taken a sharp escalation in accessibility for Page Owners. Previously Page Owners could only create a Promoted Post from the mobile Pages Manager app, and not from any other source. Now they can easily increase the vastness of their posts directly from their page. Incidentally the Promoted Post capability has been on User Profiles for a few months now.

Increasing or social connections, making it easier to connect. Tailoring advertising that appears on our profile, and ads we are able to target our audience with. That's the direction and overall mission. As it always has been from the start with Facebook.
