ICQ Messenger Now Supports CallKit, the Latest iOS Technology

It has become easier and more convenient to make and receive calls via ICQ, thanks to the support for CallKit iOS10. In addition, a new section for promotional stories and live chats has been added.

Support for the new iOS 10 feature makes it easier for users to receive audio and video calls via ICQ: incoming calls are displayed on smartphone lock screen just like normal phone calls. Moreover, it is now possible to call via ICQ directly from the iPhone's Contacts, without even launching ICQ app.

A separate tab now includes a section with snap collections and promotional stories, as well as a list of suggested friends. Intelligent sorting of live chats also has been updated: live chats that the user is most likely to be interested in are now displayed at the top of the list. Users receive personalized live chat recommendations based on their location, interests, and friends participating in other chats.

ICQ stories in the chat list now have a new design; the snap view section is now the center of attention in the user profile.

Those who like photos and videos will enjoy the new tab for stickers, which are exclusively available in the built-in editor: these allow users to compose unique masks from various parts, as well as to add hats, glasses, and other fun items.
