The Drawbacks
Although found by many as an extremely useful application, the YM for iPhone is a little low on features. Among the missing specs are: limited emoticons, no available games or themes, and no file transfer options. Apart from these, there are no other real complaints on this application.
Overall, the Yahoo Messenger for iPhone is slick and useful. One can experience lengthy conversations to several parties. The mobile app also works reliably as an instant messaging system. This is also one of the apps that’s worth the download.
