Facebook adds asynchronous voice messages to Messenger app; begins testing VoIP in Canada

Facebook today released an update for its standalone Messenger app to allow users to record and send each other voice messages. The company also announced that it would begin testing free voice over IP services for iOS users in Canada.

These updates give users new ways to communicate through Facebook and fewer reasons to use other apps and services, whether it’s their traditional phone line or other free apps. The social network is in a position to connect people through a single identity rather than through phone numbers, of which people can have multiple (work, home and cell) and that can change when a person moves or makes other changes in their life.
