Facebook’s mobile messaging client, Facebook Messenger, has received its second update since its original release in the App Store at the beginning of the month.
Facebook Messenger 1.0.2 fixes numerous bugs and adds links to phone numbers and addresses. Unfortunately, folks outside of the US still don’t have access to the app.
Changelog:
- Improved ability to copy and paste text
- Added links to phone numbers and addresses
- Fixed issue that sometimes caused the app to crash
Since the app’s initial launch, Facebook users outside of the US have been clamoring for the app’s availability internationally. We’re not sure why Facebook Messenger is still restricted to the US App Store, but it could be related to Facebook wanting to test the new app in the States first.
We’ll let you know when Facebook Messenger is available in other countries. But for now, US readers can grab it for free in the App Store.
