Facebook Chat Heads & Messenger
Along with the launch of Facebook Home for Android, FB updated the Facebook Messenger App. With the addition of the Chat Head, you can now chat with your friends or quickly send and reply to a message without interrupting what you are doing in another app. The head can be moved around your screen so that it is not in the way of other things. Or, when you are done chatting you can drag it down to hide it.

Although iPhone users don’t have (and likely will never have) Facebook Home, the iPhone did get the Messenger update that enables the Chat Head and they also got the addition of Stickers that you can send to friends. Although they are called stickers, that are really just huge emoticons. I think I’ll live if I don’t get the Sticker update. 🙂
Sounds interesting but I’ll leave mine as is. I like having my messenger separate and I figured out how to turn off the chat heads. I’m not a Facebook junkie like that and hadn’t even heard of this. I’ll be sure to share.
I HATE it! I hate the chat heads, the notifications, everything! lol
I didn’t like it. I have folders on some screens and it took the apps out of folders but only displayed some of the apps. I just didn’t like the feel of it. Plus, I like fb posts in chronological order.
