Yahoo Messenger iPhone App Review

in Application

Yahoo Messenger is one of the pioneers of instant messaging in the world. This service remains to be the most popular of its kind - boasting millions and millions of users around the globe. With the pleasant interface and free download of this application, it is easy to see why Yahoo Messenger gained such popularity. Today, this innovative communicating system can be utilized by mobile users as well.

Let us find out more about its features by reading the Yahoo Messenger iPhone app review below.

Core Features

YM for iPhone is a slimmed-down version of the desktop IM client. It offers the user a chance to send and receive messages through a mobile device. One needs a 3G or WiFi connection to use this application.

Thankfully, this mobile app is a lot less cluttered than the one in your desktop. Once you log in, the Contacts List will appear where you can see your online or offline friends. You simply have to tap on the contact to start chatting. A chat window will open and will allow you to use emoticons. Photo and URL sending are also made available in this application.

With this app, you can chat with other YM users. You can also choose to share photos which are stored or taken from the mobile device itself. SMS messages can also be sent to people from your contacts list. This lifts the limit from sending messages to other YM users alone. Additionally, you can appear online or offline to other contacts, depending on your choice. Like the desktop version, you can appear invisible before logging in.

Via the "Messages" tab, you can view a record of previous conversations. Settings may also be adjusted where you can delete these kept discussions at your leisure.

The Drawbacks

Although found by many as an extremely useful application, the YM for iPhone is a little low on features.

Among the missing specs are: limited emoticons, no available games or themes, and no file transfer options. Apart from these, there are no other real complaints on this application.

Overall, the Yahoo Messenger for iPhone is slick and useful. One can experience lengthy conversations to several parties. The mobile app also works reliably as an instant messaging system. This is also one of the apps that's worth the download.
