Meta launched a new "calls" tag in its messenger app for IOS and Android users, which covers the world It is reported that the new tag will record every call the user makes or receives in the application in one place and make it easier to connect the phone with one click.
In addition, for those who do not often use the function, it also adds a clear reminder that in addition to text-based information transmission, they can also use the application for voice or video calls.
In 2014, Facebook withdrew the information service from the main Facebook application and promoted mobile users to download a separate application to continue using the function as part of its efforts to make messenger a single experience. In 2015, the video call function appeared, followed by cross application information transmission with instagram, and finally cross application group chat. Recently, it has added new shortcuts -- including a @everyone tag to remind everyone in the conversation, or a /silent switch to send a message that will not cause the notification to pop up to others in the group.
According to meta data, compared with the beginning of 2020, audio and video calls have increased by 40%, with 300million calls a day. Messenger app first launched voice call in 2013, and this latest feature makes it a step forward in the direction of serving as a complete communication hub. Although there are many competitors for the application that users can use to call friends and family, the figures show that it is the preferred solution for many people.
