A few days ago, the rumor mill pointed out that Facebook Messenger would soon support SMS and multiple accounts for Android. Half of that came true today.<\/p>\n

Via an update, Facebook Messenger will now support multiple accounts, which the company is framing as a feature for families that use one device to access Messenger.<\/p>\n

A new \u2018Accounts\u2019 setting will show up in the settings pane, where each user can log-in to their Messenger account. From there, they can choose to require a password each time they access their account, or leave it open for anyone to access.<\/p>\n

If accounts are password protected, the number of new messages they have will show up in-app.<\/p>\n

At least for now, this feature is Android-only. There\u2019s no word on when (or if) this will hit iOS or the Web versions of Messenger.<\/p>\n
