Instant Messaging (IM) can be defined as a system or means for transmitting electronic messages instantly. It is the exchange of real-time messages through an embedded software or stand-alone application. IM users need to know each other's screen name or user name to add them to their buddy list or contact list, or to initiate an IM session. The exchange of text has been the primary function of instant messaging until recently; however, the ability to insert emojis and images into messages is presently standard. IM networks can currently offer different forms of communication through stickers, pictures, video sharing, and voice. Facebook Messenger enables users to even send money via Instant Messaging. Almost all IM solutions include some degree of federation or interoperability with social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook. Users can gain access to these social networks without exiting the instant messaging interface and can post status updates and more.
