'We have equipped the Mobile Messenger with many new features such as sharing photos and location. The new version comes on the heels of the recent release of ICQ Mobile Messenger for Windows Phone and Bada. The new version of the ICQ Messenger is available as a free download on both Google Play (Android Market) and Apple App Store. This comes in addition to support for Android tablets which was already available. The new version brings compatibility with the iPad, with the app designed to take advantage of the larger screen on the tablet. The iOS version also supports a few advanced features such as the option to navigate to location, street view display of the sent address, and sharing locations from nearby Google places. With this new feature, users can share their location with their address book contacts who use one of the messaging platforms ICQ supports. Additionally, the new version lets ICQ users share their location with friends and provide them with their exact whereabouts. The new ICQ app now enables users to send photos to their contacts, including friends on ICQ, Facebook, Google Talk, studiVZ, and AIM. The new version expands on ICQ's Mobile Messenger and provides critical new functionality for users. The cross-platform availability of ICQ and the ability of ICQ users to stay in touch with all their friends, no matter what network they are on, have helped propel its rapid growth on mobile platforms. Mobile messaging has emerged as a primary use for mobile devices and is increasingly displacing traditional SMS. While ICQ currently supports all mobile platforms, the new Mobile Messenger app was created specifically for the advanced touch-based mobile OSs that have revolutionized mobile communications.

ICQ has placed a renewed focus on mobile, selecting modern smartphone platforms such as Android and iPhone as priority targets for development.

The app has gained two million active users in just four months since it was released for major smartphone platforms. Munich, Ap– ICQ, the pioneer instant messaging provider, announces the release of the latest version of its mobile app today, advancing a new strategic focus on mobile platforms.
