ID: SLN605
Refers to: Messenger Mobile , Messenger iPhone

Description

This document will describe what the four new icons in the Yahoo! Messenger iPhone and iPad apps are and what they do.


Resolution

There are four icons that appear at the top of the conversation window when it is pulled down:

  • The first icon that looks like a photo will allow you to send Emoticons, URLs or Media files (photos or videos).
  • The second icon is a phone, and allows you to send SMS messages to a mobile phone number instead of sending an IM to a username.
  • The third icon that looks like a webcam will allow you to initiate a video call. You are able to initiate a video call with another contact who is on the Yahoo! Messenger iPhone app version 2.0, using the desktop version of Yahoo! Messenger 10.0 or is using another version of Yahoo! Messenger that also offers this feature.
  • The fourth icon that looks like a microphone allows you to make voice calls. You are able to make voice calls to contacts who are using the desktop Yahoo! Messenger client (version 9.0 and higher for a PC, or version 3.0 for Macs).
