Live Messenger iPhone app adds Facebook chat, iOS 4 fast app switching

Filed under: Microsoft, Social Software, iPhoneMicrosoft's Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone has just received an update, and it's a fairly significant one. If you've used Live's social connector to hook up to your Facebook account, you can now chat with friends who are signed in to Facebook chat via Live Messenger.

Right now, however, the feature is only available in six countries: the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Brazil, and Russia.

The Live Messenger update also brings full support for iOS 4 fast app switching, which will be a welcome addition for mobile multitaskers. Filtering has been added to the friends list pane, making it easy to quickly locate the people you want to chat with.

Live Messenger is a free download from the App Store and it continues to receive positive reviews from users. If there was any doubt that Microsoft could build a good app for the iPhone, it should be roundly squashed by this point.Live Messenger iPhone app adds Facebook chat, iOS 4 fast app switching originally appeared on Download Squad on Tue, 14 Sep 2010 08:00:00 EST.
