Lately Facebook has been a constant subject of rumors, praises and there was even a feature film made about it. There is no denying that Facebook is huge, and many consider it their preferred way to stay in touch with people they care about. There are over 500 million active users on Facebook and  over 250 million people access it via their mobile devices. This is why we're so excited to bring Jongla service to all Facebook users around the world. In a nutshell, you get all the benefits of Jongla service, but without the need for a mobile device and right within Facebook. Jongla Facebook application allows you to send multimedia content (images and videos) located on your computer as well as Facebook images and videos to mobile devices anywhere in the world for FREE. There are tons of ways you can utilize Jongla service on Facebook so let's get started!

Registration

First things first. When you're logged in to Facebook, go to Jongla Facebook application. When asked whether you're willing to provide the application with information, answer yes (we just need it so you can link your Facebook account with your Jongla account). Next ,you need to register if you're new to Jongla service or login using your existing Jongla credentials. Our registration process is really simple and we only require a username, password and your mobile number (in International format). We need your phone number so we can verify that you're a real person (prevents spam). We never sell your personal information to anybody and we will never send you advertisements of any kind. The reason why you need to create a Jongla account is because you can the use Jongla service on many different devices as soon as you log in. Once you have registered, you will receive an SMS message with an attached link. Just click on that link on your mobile device in order to verify your account. Now you're all set.

Sending messages

Every Jongla message can contain text, images and videos. Unlike many other mobile services, we don't limit the number of files you can send or their size. This opens a whole new world of possibilities. In order to send a message you need to know the recipient's mobile phone number. You can maintain your personal address book within Jongla service so you can access people that matter to you in mere seconds! Unfortunately, due to technical limitations placed by Facebook, we're not able to retrieve your Facebook friend's phone numbers. This means that you need to manually add phone numbers of people who are already your friends on Facebook. You can also directly write a phone number as a recipient. Just don't forget that you need to have the phone number in the International format (example: +18292922828). You can send Jongla messages to multiple recipients, which makes it ideal when you need to distribute multimedia content to many people at once (sending your latest office party images to everybody involved in seconds).

Attachments

We're not going to cover text field as it's pretty standard and boring. Attachment is where it gets cool and interesting. You can add unlimited amount of videos and pictures to your Jongla message, but get this...you can add images and videos you have already uploaded to Facebook. You can also mix and match (local files and files from Facebook). In order to add attachments to your message just click "add video" or "add picture". You will then be asked if you want to add content from your local computer or from Facebook. Choose Facebook, and you will be able to send pictures and videos you have already uploaded to Facebook. Once you're ready, just press "Send" and your message will be off on it's way.

Message history

You can click "Message history" and see messages you have already sent in the past. It also makes re-sending old messages really easy.

Why Facebook

You might wonder why we brought Jongla service to Facebook. We thought that running our application within Facebook opens new ways to use our service:

• Facebook doesn't allow you to upload very large video files. Their limitation is 1024MB and maximum 15 minutes in length. We don't have those limits, so you can send large files to your Facebook friends without ever worrying about hitting file size limitation.
• Sometimes you want to send content you have on Facebook to people you don't necessary want to add as friends on Facebook (your co-worker, your ex or your father in law). You can use Jongla to send that content without ever needing to add them as friends on Facebook.
• If some of your friends are not on Facebook you can easily send them content you have already uploaded to Facebook with ease. You can for example send your summer pictures to everybody in your extended family with one click.
• You can use our application to safely backup content you uploaded to Facebook with Jongla. You can select entire albums along with videos and safely send them to yourself.
• If you uploaded something really awesome and know your friends will appreciate it, but you can't wait for them to login to Facebook to see it, just send it as Jongla message and they will receive it right on the mobile device.

Those are just some use cases for our application on Facebook. I am sure you will find tons of ways to make use of Jongla service. Don't be shy and let us know in the comments!

Future plans

We're planning to expand our Facebook support across our entire service. There are cool and exciting features coming up like receiving Jongla messages right there on Facebook, sending messages to people who's number you don't know, but who are your friends on Facebook and much more. Stay tuned for much more Facebook awesomeness to come in near future!
