Your Guide to Yahoo Messenger

The Yahoo!' messaging app has some indeed cool and unique features. It was relaunched as a fresh product in December 2015, designed to make group talking lighter and include support for better photo sharing and the capability to send/delete messages.

Once you log in to your Yahoo! account, you’ll be able to invite friends, create groups, draft messages, "like" messages and send your own photos (even hundreds at a time) and GIFs.

One neat thing to consider is that that since Yahoo Messenger very first launched in 1998, it's one of the oldest products on the market, so your friends might already have accounts (they may have just forgotten their password). This can't be said for newer platforms like Snapchat and Facebook Messenger.

Note: You must create a Yahoo! account if you haven't already. If you have and have used Yahoo Messenger before, you just need to inject your username when asked.

How to Get Embarked With Yahoo Messenger

The fresh Yahoo! Messenger is available for iOS devices 8.0+, Google Android devices Four.1+ and through a computer.

1. If you're interested in using the web version, visit messenger.yahoo.com. You can also download a Windows version of the program so you can use it like any other software application you have running on your PC.
2. Choose a name that people can recognize you by, and press Proceed.

1. That's it! Use the Compose Fresh Message button (the one that looks like a pencil) to embark talking with your Yahoo! contacts.

You can also get to the web version of Yahoo Messenger through Yahoo! Mail. From the top left menu, choose the smiley face icon to open a mini version of Messenger. It supports all the same functions as the regular version.

1. Download the Yahoo Messenger app on a mobile device. Use the App Store one if you're on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or the Google Play link for Androids.
2. Log in with your Yahoo! account.

How to Unsend Yahoo! Messages

Yahoo Messenger lets you delete, or send a message so that it will be eliminated from the conversation for anyone else who's a part of it. This happens almost instantaneously.

For example, if you sent the message "Bye" but later switched your mind and want it deleted, you can send it even if the other person has read it already.

1. Hover your mouse over the message you want to retract.
2. Click the Unsend trash can icon.
3. Confirm by clicking the Unsend button.

Unsend From the Mobile App

Note: The web and mobile version of Yahoo Messenger let you clear the conversation to eliminate the history from the message. You can do this from the puny (i) button at the top right of the message.

However, this doesn't actually retract the messages from the conversation; clearing the conversation just clears the history so that you can't go looking through the texts. To actually retract the message for good requires that you use the Unsend button.

You can use this time to add a text message to go along with the pictures, but you don't have to.

If you want to add or liquidate pictures before sending them, tap the plus icon to the left of the pics, or the exit button to eliminate them. Note that you can add duplicate pictures this way if you for some reason want to send numerous copies of the same photo.
