Facebook Messenger: Know the hidden functions of the app – Technology News – Technology


The hundreds of applications that flood the market and those that are constantly coming out for consumer use have as many functions as electronic devices, which often means that people end up not using them in their entirety, and what is worse, do not use their full capacity, missing the opportunity to make the best of these to make your life easier.

Active Status

Look in your application profile for the option to turn off the so-called ‘Active Status’. This will allow you to ‘hide’ from your contacts, who will not be able to know if you are connected or online, as well as what was the last time you logged in: The step for this action is as follows:

1. Click the top left of your profile photo, then click preferences.

2. Click Active Status.

3. Click below Show Active Status to enable or disable that option.

2. Click Aspect (the waning moon icon)

3. Under Theme, select Duplicate System Preferences and then High Contrast (Dark).

4. To reverse the change, click High Contrast (dark) and select Duplicate System Preferences.

2. From the menu, touch Privacy.

3. Touch Message Settings.

Private talks

A secret conversation in Messenger is end-to-end encrypted and designed so that only you and the person you are speaking with have access to the messages. To activate this function you just have to follow these steps:

1. Download the Messenger app.

2. In Chats, tap the profile photo in the upper left.

3. In the menu, select Privacy

3. Find the option Secret Conversations and activate it

To use them

1. Enter a chat with a contact

2. Tap on your profile picture

3. Scroll down the list until you see the option ‘go to Secret Conversation’

4. A new chat will open with end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages

(Also: Whatsapp will block user accounts using WhatsApp plus)

Disappear

But if what you want is an alternative to secret conversations, the ‘Vanish Mode’ is a faster option, although it lacks the end-to-end encryption:

1. In a chat with a contact, swipe the screen up

2. The Vanish Mode will have been activated: all messages sent in that chat will disappear when they are read or when the window of that conversation is closed.
