Facebook brings context to messaging with 'caller ID' for Messenger<article>
<section class="page">

If your Facebook feed is anything like mine, it’s filled with acquaintances, close friends, old friends, and a few people who got in due to an errant click. To help you keep everyone straight, Facebook recently announced a new addition it’s dubbing “caller ID for messaging.”</p><p>
When you get a new message from someone it will include context information such as how you’re connected to them or where they’re from. Facebook says it will also include a larger photo. The new context can help jog your memory if an old high school friend is coming into town or an acquaintance from your community wants to say hello.</p><figure class="large "><a class="zoom" href="

Facebook’s messaging update is rolling out to both Android and iOS users in the U.S. It’s not clear if the new feature will also show up in Facebook’s messaging window on desktop PCs.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2925955/facebook-brings-context-to-messaging-with-caller-id-for-messenger.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
