Yahoo Messenger introduces read receipts, typing indicators and more
With the latest update, Yahoo Messenger will show you read receipts for group and one-on-one chats
Yahoo has announced new updates to Yahoo Messenger to make messaging an even better experience, plus a new way to express yourself with emojis. The new features like read receipts and typing indicators allow users to be sure when their friends or colleagues are checking their phones or reading their messages.
Read Receipts
With the latest update, Yahoo Messenger will show you read receipts for group and one-on-one chats, across mobile, desktop and web.
Typing Indicators
With the typing indicator (…), user’ll now be able to see when the person they’re chatting with starts typing.
Big Emojis
When users are trying to get an important message across, sometimes a regular emoji just isn’t enough. Now hearts, champagne bottles, and clapping hands will show up bigger than before in the chat window on mobile for that extra oomph.
The update for Yahoo Messenger is available in the App Store and on Google Play, as well as web and desktop.
