The app can also be set for the users, so that they cannot buy some unethical products. The E-Wallet app is enabled with a primary account that is connected to a credit card.

Users are able to use the app to manage transactions using their iPhone. The patent also hints that it will integrate mobile payment solution so that it can be used outside of its ecosystem in the future. It also reveals that the iPhone would integrate NFC (Near field communication) chip for convenience. This technology is still in its early stage of iPhone application development.

Facebook’s Free Call Service For US iPhone Users

Posted on by Kallala

Facebook recently announced that iPhone users could enjoy free calls in the US over Wi-Fi Messenger for iPhone. This new feature facilitates people from the United States that allow them to use the Facebook Messenger app to place voice calls with friends using their internet connection or Wi-Fi.

The feature comes as a “Free Call” button in the existing app and the users don’t have to update to take advantage of this feature.

A lot of users quoted “Free call feature is incredibly simple and useful”. But the app also requires the receiver to have Facebook’s stand-alone app installed on their phone.

If the app couldn’t sync with the receiver, the “Free Call” icon appears grey and marked out. The call features look and feel similar to conventional voice calls.

Besides the United States, Facebook has mentioned that they have started testing VoIP functionality in Canada.
