Facebook has released a new study showing how messaging apps are changing the way we communicate.
Here are the highlights.
Message in a bottle
Facebook surveyed users in 14 markets, and found that most prefer messaging to chatting, both one-on-one and in groups.
This preference applied across age ranges, with Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers all preferring to message.
Brand new world
