Yahoo Messenger
Chat and share instantly
Yahoo Messenger is one of the oldest and most fully featured text IM clients for Android.
For 20 years Yahoo Messenger has connected users with the world and it continues to evolve to offer a richer text chat experience. Two interesting new features in this version include the “Take Back” feature that lets you unsend messages after you've sent them and an improved media carousel that lets you browse your media more easily while on the go.
You’ll be able to share unlimited media fast – including large video files and high resolution pictures! Yahoo Messenger continues to provide an infinitely customizable app with custom themes and animated reaction GIFs to help you express yourself.
It’s important to note that Messenger no longer supports video and voice calling, so expect a text-only experience with media sharing going forward.
On the whole, Yahoo Messenger does a great job helping you stay connected with a lot of fun customization and sharing options. If you’re looking for voice and video calling you might want to try another app, though.
