When PowerPC gave way to Intel, and full 30fps videoconferencing was offered by everyone - iChat, Skype, Gizmo, and even eventually MSN Messenger - I still hung onto the newly relaunched beta of Yahoo! Messenger. In the unfamiliar new world of OSX, Yahoo was a friendly face across a crowd, smiling while it introduced me to all the new people on the block. Yahoo stayed the same (it was a Carbon application at that point, so the OS9 version WAS the OSX version), and I kept using it. Then OSX came along, and iChat gave us all AIM-based videoconferencing. The very shortcomings of the application were part of what endeared it. It felt like a rubber band airplane that I'd built out of balsa wood in my basement, and which fell apart violently every second time I'd try to make it fly. I liked how light it felt in OS9, how little memory it took up and even how poorly its buttons were animated. So I used the application, and over time I became fond of it. In 2001, NO chat software for the Mac had any webcam support. Sure, I had AIM - everyone used AIM - but my girlfriend had Windows and a webcam. Offline and low connectivity mode - Anything you share will be posted once you're back online.I remember back in the early 2000s, when I was still using a G3 under OS 8.6, and Yahoo Messenger was my go-to messenger.Animated GIFs - Express yourself with animated GIFs from Tumblr (available on Android, iOS and web).Likes - Tap on a message or photo to let the sender know you like it.Unsend - Regret something? Simply tap it and select "Unsend" to remove it from the conversation.Enhanced photo sharing - Now you can share lots of high-resolution photos at once, and swipe to view them in a photo carousel.Sign in to Yahoo Mail and check to see if the new Yahoo Messenger is available in your inbox. It's easier than ever to respond to messages and photos with a simple "like". Start one-on-one conversations or create group chats simply using your contacts. Why limit your reaction to an emoji? Express yourself with animated GIFs. Wish you could take back that message or photo? Tap "Unsend" to remove it from the conversation. Instant, high resolution photo sharing lets you share your entire weekend at once in a photo carousel.
Other features include voice chat, file transfer, mail and stock quote alerts, sports scores, news, and much more. By downloading the application to your computer, you can send instant messages.
