Facebook is testing a new feature that will send you pushes from all three apps, allowing you to instantly change between them. All missed messages will have a red number right beside it to remind you to click on it.
"We are conducting a very small test to make it easier for people to discover and connect with the people and things they care about. We're exploring ways to help people switch more easily between their Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram accounts," social media analyst Mari Smith told TechCrunch.
While everyone isn’t lucky enough to have the extra feature, those who do will see a profile icon at the top right corner of their Facebook, Messenger and Instagram app. That button will display a number to indicate the sum of unopened notifications from other platforms. Once you tap it, all of your alerts will be waiting for you in one place. Then you’ll be able to effortlessly move between all three services so that you’ll never miss an alert.
