The VKontakte social network has introduced a beta version of communities in the VK Messenger app for iOS and Android. The innovation allows you to follow the latest publications in public in a convenient chat format. In fact, this functionality is similar to channels. Users see all their subscriptions on the app’s main screen and can hide the ones they don’t want to read. That is, in fact, “VK Messenger” becomes a place where you can collect “favorites” from publics and instantly see new posts from bloggers, authors, musicians and thematic groups.
In addition, the developers have added multi-push support to the latest version of the VK Messenger application. This means that notifications will be received simultaneously for all connected accounts. The company noted that now the communities in the messenger are just a convenient additional source for the exchange of information. Developers first want to get feedback from users and authors in order to further develop this topic, increase audience engagement and add new features.
At the moment, “VK Messenger” offers ample opportunities for communicating with friends from “VKontakte” and with people who are on the phone. In the application, you can group chats into folders, separate personal and work correspondence. The client can also be installed on a tablet — the current version of the messenger has been adapted for large screens.
