Facebook has released an experimental application that allows Apple Watch owners to use Messenger without using the iPhone. It's called Kit - acronym for keep in touch - and was developed by Menlo Park's NPE team who are tasked with designing new experiences and applications. This time it is the turn of an exclusive service for the smartwatch of the Cupertino giant.
According to the App Store description, the user needs to scan a QR code or enter an access code on fb.com/devices to access Kit. exchange messages with some selected contacts using the Facebook instant messaging service. The user will therefore select the Messenger contacts with whom they want to stay in touch.
The application allows you to send messages, voice recordings and emojis with one touch, share your location, dictate your message or use the handwriting function Scribble. Obviously, it is also possible to receive, respond to notifications and read received messages. While Messenger is already supported by Apple Watch, the idea behind Facebook Kit is that of allow users to stay in touch with close people without having to use the iPhone while offering an intuitive interface adapted to the small screen size.
Facebook Kit is available in the App Store for Apple Watch only. Finally, remember that since it is an experimental application, the characteristics could change over time or it could be abandoned if it will not have any use for users.
