Gradually entering a level on a par with BlackBerry Messenger and Appleâs iMessage, Facebook Messenger has just been updated with some neat additional features.
Facebookâs dedicated messaging app for iPhone, which is independent of the official Facebook app, has gained the ability to display read receipts. In one-on-one messages, the app displays âSeenâ followed by the time when the message was read. In group chats, it displays the same plus the names of the ones in the group who have read it.

In line with this, the app has also replaced its three-dot real-time typing symbol in group conversations with as simple as the name of the person currently typing a reply. The updated app now also attaches location data to each message, provided that the sender has granted permission for the app to do so. Hereâs a screen shot:
