Shuffling between different messaging apps? Here’s an easy workaround to use all your favourite messaging apps at one place.

| Here’s you can use all your favourite messaging apps at one place |
Instant messaging applications are a dime and a dozen. From
WhatsApp to Facebook Messenger, you most probably will have an account on all
these instant messaging apps. Apart from casual messaging apps, professionals
need workspace chat apps such as Slack, Skype and Flock.
We keep shuffling between
these apps to chat with our colleagues, friends and family. Sometimes it’s
distracting and frustrating. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a single
window for all your messaging applications, and switch between them like a tab.
Say, one tab has Facebook Messenger and another runs Slack.
Well, there’s a workaround
for this. Note that this tip works on desktop but ensures you’re up to date.
Here’s what you need to do.
Open your Chrome browser.
Click on the three dots on the top right corner > More tools >
Extensions. You will be directed to Chrome’s extensions page. Now, click on
“get more extensions” and download and install “All-in-One Messenger.”
The extension gives you access
to a plethora of messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger,
Slack, Telegram, Skype and WeChat. It also supports other popular chat apps
such as Steam Chat, Google Hangouts, and apps such as TweetDeck.
Just select the apps you like from the home screen and “add.”
You will need to log in to your accounts, and then you’re good to go.
Note that this extension lets you remove
any app at any point you want. Also, the application appears as a separate
window. This means you don’t need to keep switching between your Chrome tabs to
continue chatting.
WhatsApp users note that this extension
supports the web version of the messenger. So, you will have to sign in via QR
code as you’d do on your desktop.
