Facebook Messenger gets on the bandwagon and becomes available from the iOS 10 Phone app

Facebook Messenger and Telephone

A few hours after the official launch of iOS 10, WhatsApp was updated to include support for the new version of Apple's mobile operating system, that is, with support for Siri, a new widget and the ability to make calls directly from the iOS Phone application. . And it is that the updates of the most used messaging application on the planet are more frequent since Mark Zuckerberg's company took over it. In fact, it seems that Facebook Messenger it has taken a back seat in this regard.

The launch of iOS 10 took place on Tuesday, September 13 and it was not until yesterday that Facebook Messenger was updated including CallKit supportIn other words, Apple's new SDK that allows developers to have their applications appear in the iOS Phone app. In this way, from now on we can call our Facebook contacts without having to open the official application.

Facebook Messenger includes support for CallKit

In addition to appearing in the calendar of an iPhone with iOS 10, the support for CallKit will also make the contact appears on the screen just as it would if we received a normal phone call, with the same options such as silencing the call, the keyboard and the possibility of activating the speaker as hands-free. Even more, now we can answer Facebook Messenger calls from CarPlay, Apple's operating system for cars.

Where it seems that Facebook also wants to imitate WhatsApp is in the information it provides in the App Store, in this case adding only a paragraph in which they say that they release updates regularly to improve the application. How will you know if you are readers of Actualidad iPhone, the most used messaging application on the planet likes to use the now famous two words "Bug fixes." In any case, we already know that Facebook Messenger has become compatible with the Phone app of iOS 10.
