Facebook is reportedly planning to bring video calling to its Messenger app for iOS, reports iPhoneItalia.
The company has just released a new beta for developers the Facebook Messenger Beta where it is active - albeit in a rudimentary way - support for video calls. Currently, as you can see from the images presented, the interface consists of standard elements using the "Answer" and "Decline" to answer or reject a video call.
After answering, you will see a box where you can see the other user and his face and down the "End Call" to end the call. At present the new function is not stable and may require additional testing before releasing a public update that enables video calls to Facebook Messenger.
While the screenshots shown below could easily be faked, it does make sense that Facebook would look to expand the functionality of its popular messaging application.
It would be nice if they would first fix the bugs in the current version of fb for ios. it's so buggy ihardly even get on fb anymore from my iphone. but that being said i would love that feature..
