Facebook, Instagram Additions You Need to Know About
Two new features announced today on the social networks.
— -- Facebook and Instagram rolled out some new additions today that will enhance the way users communicate on both social networks.
Video calling will now be available to the more than 600 million people who use Facebook's Messenger app.
While the service previously offered voice calling, the new feature allows users to have a real-time video chat -- the same way they would on FaceTime or Skype.
Regardless of whether both users are on iOS or Android, video calls can be facilitated by pressing the video camera button in the upper-right screen of Messenger.
The Facebook-owned Instagram also announced changes to its service today, welcoming the addition of three new filters called Lark, Reyes and Juno just in time for outdoor spring photo adventures.
Check with Apple's App Store or the Google Play store to make sure the latest version has been downloaded in order to access the new filters.
One more thing: Instagram also announced a "bonus" update letting users add emoji hashtags to their photos.
Happy 'gramming!
