Windows Live Wave 4: Messenger Now On iPhone
Today Microsoft have released their app for the iOS platform in the way of a Windows Live Messenger app, we have known this was coming for some time. The app allows users to chat to their contacts, both Windows Live and Yahoo! Messenger, view the updates from friends via Messenger Social, edit, upload and share photos and its possible to access Hotmail from the app.
The description of the app is:
Windows Live Messenger for iPhone and iPod Touch is the best way to connect with the people that matter most and keep up with the things they are doing across the web. Use your iPhone to instant message your friends list, view and comment on your friends’ photos and status updates from Windows Live, Facebook, and MySpace, and at a glance, see what your Messenger friends are sharing from Flickr, YouTube, and many other social and photo sharing sites. Make sure to visit http://profile.live.com/Services today and setup Windows Live to bring in your social networks. Messenger is simply the best way to connect with your closest friends.
Chat: Instant message with your Windows Live Messenger and Y! Messenger contacts on the go so you’re always connected to the people that matter most. You can even receive IM notifications when your app is closed so you never miss a message.
Social: Windows Live Messenger gives you one place to view the updates your Messenger friends are sharing from social networks like Facebook, Flickr, MySpace and more, helping you cut through the clutter on the go.
Photos: Upload photos right from your phone to share your favorite moments with the people that matter most. Create albums, add captions, and let your friends and family comment on your photos.
Hotmail: Access your Hotmail account without leaving the app to read, reply to, and compose emails. Get email notifications within the application so you know when you have new messages.
Not owning an iOS device myself I have to rely on other people’s opinions about it and as far it looks good with a 5 star rating after 22 votes on the app information page. I hope you all enjoy using this app. You can download the app from iTunes.
Update: I have just received the official information about the Messenger App and a new picture from Microsoft. The official information is:
The Messenger iPhone app is free and includes many of the same rich Messenger features that you’d experience on a PC. With the app, users can:
- Instant Message with multiple friends, allowing users to view chat history, use emoticons, send a ‘nudge’ to a friend who isn’t responding, and share links and photos via Instant Message
- The app also includes push notification of new chats, so users can see when they receive a new IM when they’re not already interacting with the app
- Access their Hotmail account without leaving the app to read, reply to, and compose emails
- Receive email notifications within the application so users know when they have new messages
- View the updates your Messenger friends are sharing from social networks like Facebook, Flickr, MySpace and more
- Upload photos right from your phone, allowing you to create albums, add captions, and let your friends and family comment on your photos
The URL for the download from iTunes on your PC is: http://itunes.com/apps/windowslivemessenger
Users can download from their iPhone by searching for “Windows Live Messenger” in the App Store
Here’s a picture of someone trying to contact a friend who isn’t in the Messenger app.
