Flipboard has announced a new software update for their popular magazine app on iOS and Android. The latest version of the app now lets you share content through Facebook Messenger, enhancing the way users interact and share stories with their friends.
Flipboard readers love sharing articles to Facebook Messenger. So we’ve made it easier to share stories from Flipboard to friends on Messenger and easier to have a conversation around those stories.
This most recent Flipboard update offers the first enhancements in the way the two apps work together. Assuming you have Flipboard edition 3.3.10 or higher, now when you share a story from Flipboard to Messenger what your friend gets in Messenger gives more context and visual richness around what you share
Enhanced Sharing Experience
The integration between Flipboard and Facebook Messenger is designed to make sharing more intuitive and visually appealing. When you share a story from Flipboard to Messenger, the recipient will see a richer preview of the content. This includes more context and visual elements, making it easier for them to understand the essence of the story at a glance. This update is particularly beneficial for users who frequently share news articles, blog posts, and other types of content with their friends and family.
For instance, if you come across an interesting article about the latest tech trends, you can now share it with your friends on Messenger without losing any of the article’s visual appeal. The enhanced preview includes images, headlines, and a brief summary, making it more engaging and easier to spark a conversation around the shared content.
Improved User Interaction
The update also aims to improve user interaction by making it easier to have conversations around shared stories. Previously, sharing a link might have led to a disjointed conversation, as the recipient would have to click the link and read the article separately. With the new update, the shared content is more integrated into the Messenger chat, allowing for a more seamless discussion.
This feature is particularly useful for group chats where multiple people might be interested in the same topic. For example, if you’re planning a trip with friends and come across an article about the best travel destinations, you can share it in your group chat. The enhanced preview will make it easier for everyone to see the highlights of the article and discuss it without having to leave the Messenger app.
