We utilize various diverse online networking systems and informing applications. For example, we utilize Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp to converse with our companions, Skype to interface with our family, Hangouts or Slack to connect with our associates. In this way, handling these informing applications through various tabs in Chrome can get a bit of overpowering on occasion. All things considered, as you may have speculated from the title, there’s an approach to deal with all informing administrations from a solitary application. Yes, believe it or not! You can do as such by means of the cool new Chrome application named “Across the board Messenger”. Since it’s a Chrome application, it’s accessible for Windows, macOS and Chrome OS.

So, let’s cut to the chase and get to how you can use multiple accounts of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other chat apps in one window:

• To begin, you will have to install the All-in-one Messenger app from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, you can open the app by going to Chrome apps launcher in the bookmarks bar or by going to a new tab and entering “chrome://apps” in the address bar.

• When you first open the All-in-one Messenger app, it will show you the various messaging services that are supported. There are more than 25 messengers supported including the likes of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype, Google Hangouts, We Chat, Slack, Yahoo Messenger, Chat work etc.

• Simply select the messenger you want to use. For instance, select Facebook Messenger.

• Then, the Facebook Messenger login page should open up and if the app requires any additional permissions, it will prompt you to resolve it. Enter your account details and you should be logged in. You can now start using Facebook Messenger from the All-in-one Messenger app.

• The novelty lies in the fact that you can add as many messaging apps you want. You can then hit the Settings icon and add more messengers. The good news is, you can add multiple instances of one messenger, which means you can use multiple WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger accounts or multiple accounts of any other messenger.

• You can remove a messenger by tapping on a messenger in the Settings page and selecting “Delete“. You can also mute notifications or stop notifications of a messenger in the Settings page by clicking on the respective icons.

In our testing of the All-in-one Messenger Chrome app, things worked out pretty well. You get notifications (like any other Chrome notification) from the various messengers you use. Plus, as we mentioned, you can run multiple instances of an app, which isn’t possible when you open them in Chrome tabs.

To sum things up, the All-in-one Messenger fulfils its purpose and it all works like a charm. Having said that, the functionality in some messengers is a bit limited. For instance, you cannot make calls on Skype, as of now and Hangouts only worked for us when we used the app in full-screen. Well, the app is fresh and new, so we can expect future updates to iron out these minor niggles.
