Facebook Messenger Beta gets Data Saver Option.


You may agree Facebook Messenger has become a full-featured service, but all these capabilities can actually take a toll on your data consumption. Regular texting isn’t a big deal, but a data consumption increases once you start receiving images, video and more. That is exactly what Facebook thought about and it is now testing a data saver mode in its Messenger after a successful run on its main app.

Beta users of Facebook Messenger are seeing a new option in the settings, allowing them to enable Data Saver mode. There seem to be no compression methods or anything of the like. Instead, this mode will stop Facebook Messenger from automatically downloading photos and video; users will have to tap to download these. When connected to WiFi, the application will continue to work as always.


Those unsure about how efficient this feature is can see how much data has been saved, which is right below the option to turn on Data Saver and which can be reset as well.

Earlier this month, Facebook had rolled out an option to enable end-to-end encryption on Messenger conversations. This update provided similar user privacy as available on the company's WhatsApp messaging service and was introduced to provide additional privacy to Messenger users. However, unlike WhatsApp, Messenger users are required to manually choose end-to-end encryption for every new conversation.
