You can send messages to non-ICQ contacts using the app, but they're delivered via the same platform from which you imported the contacts. And yes, when you receive an ICQ message through your Android device, you do hear 'uh oh!' However, the familiar sound alert was given an echo treatment and now sounds? sultry. Like with Google Talk, ICQ Messenger works cross-platform, so users can message each other through either mobile or PC clients. In the Android app, you can send your geolocation or a photo as well. The messaging interface is very slick, featuring the same bright color scheme as in the original ICQ. Quick, Free Messaging ICQ Messenger delivers messages instantly. None of my phone contacts were on ICQ, so I created another ICQ account to communicate with myself in the Android app. The same goes for Whatsapp, but Whatsapp is already so popular that you?re bound to find a good portion of your contact list already on there. If someone in your contact list isn't on Facebook or Twitter?like my mom, for instance?the only action you can take is to invite him or her to join ICQ first, before you can send another message.

I mean, I follow more than 500 people on Twitter, but I certainly don't want to import them all! Furthermore I couldn't select individual contacts from my social networks to add, I could only import entire network lists.

?Ĭonnecting to Facebook and Google took minutes, which feels like a lifetime in an app. Most multi-client messengers these days let you sign in within the app. The app opens your browser to log into these third-party networks, which feels very archaic.
