Facebook has rolled out video calling on its Messenger mobile application, letting users have face-to-face conversations. The service will work between Apple devices and those powered by Google's Android software.The free feature, which works over both LTE and Wi-Fi, competes with similar products including Microsoft's Skype, Google Hangouts, and Apple's FaceTime.
Facebook claims the new video chat delivers the best audio and video, across different types of Internet connections and data networks.
In a related move, last week Facebook introduced Hello, an Android dialer and contacts manager that promotes using Facebook for more calls.
