Facebook Messenger has received a significant update with a range of new features designed to improve communication and calling experiences. The update includes Siri integration for iPhone users, allowing for hands-free calls and messaging through voice commands. Users can now simply ask Siri to initiate a Messenger call or send a message to a contact.
Mirroring a recent FaceTime feature, Messenger now supports audio and video voice messages. Users can leave these messages when a call goes unanswered, providing a more expressive way to connect.
The update also brings enhancements to video calling. Messenger now supports HD video calls for improved clarity, along with background noise suppression and voice isolation for clearer audio. HD video calls are enabled by default when connected to Wi-Fi and can also be activated for cellular calls through the Messenger settings.
In the near future, Messenger will introduce AI-powered backgrounds for video calls. This feature will allow users to personalize their video calls with unique and creative backgrounds generated by artificial intelligence.
With these new features, Facebook Messenger aims to provide users with a more versatile and convenient communication experience, whether they’re making calls, sending messages, or leaving voice messages.
