Yahoo Messenger in its version for Android

The first major Internet company was Yahoo thanks to its search engine, website, messaging and email service. The Sunnyvale-based company stayed on top until the Punktcom crisis and the arrival of Google. However, this has not stopped them from continuing to be one of the most significant companies in the online sector, where they still offer various services like the ones mentioned above.

Yahoo's Messenger never went away

And although Facebook and especially mobile instant messaging and chat apps like WhatsApp have abandoned messengers like ICQ or Microsoft's solution, at Yahoo they have continued to offer and refurbish Yahoo Messenger, which is obviously evolving into an Android and iPhone app has.

This is basically the chatting and messaging program that started on Windows and Mac, but now with a revamped design and new features adapted to smartphones. Thanks to the latter we can chat with all our email contacts and enjoy features such as the following:

• Chat with your contacts individually or create groups.
• You can undeliver messages and withdraw anything you've sent. However, this is not possible if the recipient has already read the message in question.
• Share photos instantly without losing quality.
• Send GIFs and explore different categories to download them.
• Give likes to messages and pictures.
• Offline mode, which lets you write when you don't have an internet connection, sends the messages as soon as you're back online.

The design was made considering various aspects such as our communication speed, including the delivery of multimedia content such as images and GIF animations. Incidentally, the latter can also be downloaded from Tumblr, since this social network was acquired by Yahoo some time ago.
