But earlier this month, the social network pushed the first in-app game live: Doodle Draw Game, an online version of Pictionary that you can play with friends inside a chat window.
With it, Messenger joins the ranks of rival chat apps WeChat, Line and Viber, which already support games. To download Messenger apps, open a conversation and click the More button. The app will install on your device; to access it within Messenger, tap the More button and select it from the list. This separate site, which Facebook launched in April, gives you access to your messages without the distractions of its full site.
The desktop version features all the same capabilities and settings as the Messenger app — you can send photos, emoticons, place phone calls and video chat. In the past, Facebook automatically logged your precise location and pinpointed it on a map that your friends could view — unless you turned it off. Earlier this month, Facebook scrapped this practice, and instead launched an entirely optional location-sharing feature. To share your location with a friend, tap the More icon or the location button at the bottom of your screen.
The feature, which launched in late April, lets you make a video call from anywhere and works across platforms, too: Android users can call friends on iOS devices, and vice versa. To place a video call, tap the blue video icon in the top-right of a message. If the icon is gray, the user is unable to accept a call. When group messages get out of hand, take a time-out from the alerts and mute the notifications. To mute notifications for a conversation, open it in Messenger. Tap the names at the top of the message, then tap Notifications and select the period of time: You can mute notifications for 15 minutes, one hour, eight hours, 24 hours or indefinitely, until you turn notifications back on.

How do I get her to back off without being rude? I think a lot of it depends on how sensitive this person is to your nonverbal cues. And, I would add, it might depend also on where you are coming from. I am an English person who is very much in favour of passive aggression and will take almost any steps to avoid confrontation. You, on the other hand, may be American and regard this as a form of time-wasting cowardice. So you wait a couple of days before replying to a message and, if it has been sent across multiple mediums, you pick the one that is least likely to generate an automatic reply avoid IM and text messages at all costs unless you are ready to have a conversation.
That leaves email, now the lumbering old lady of digital communication, and thank God we still have it. This brings me to another point.
