Facebook thinks mobile messaging should feel like you’re having a face-to-face conversation, so it has updated its Messenger for iOS and Android apps with the ability to see if someone’s read your message, and easier ways to tell if someone’s typing and where they’re messaging from.
Facebook Messenger “read receipts” are even easier to understand than those long-found on BlackBerry Messenger, and they work for group messaging too.
Beyond read receipts, you’ll now see the name of town or city from which a message was sent in-line if your conversation partners have location enabled.
