Facebook is currently testing a new
messaging feature that just not reveal friends are online at the same
time as you are, but also they are online via mobile or desktop version
of Facebook. The new feature shows friends' status as currently online
on “web” or “mobile.”
The feature will help bridge the gap
between how users interact with each other when they are on desktop
versus when they are on mobile devices. Users who are mobile may be
inclined to give shorter replies or may not reply instantly if they are
on the move. Users on desktops will be most likely sitting down and will
have the time to read longer messages with links and media files. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the news and stated, “We are testing a
feature that gives you a better understanding of where your friend will
receive your message,” and also added that they will keep us posted on
when and if the new feature rolls out more broadly.
