QuickIM - a new tweak that allows you to send messages to Facebook and Google-chat from anywhere in iOS. The novelty will definitely appeal to adherents of such desktop instant messaging applications as QiP and ICQ. After installation, an application icon will appear on your home screen.
QuickIM's design is almost identical to the native iOS messenger for SMS, MMS and iMessage messages. The only difference is the display of avatars of authors next to each sent message.
Received message notifications work in the same way as in the case of the standard iOS messenger: instead of the status bar, a white bar appears with a notification of the received message, by clicking on which you can instantly go to the dialog box.
Significantly expands the functionality and usability of QuickIM another tweak called the Activator, which allows you to bind the activation QuickIM to any action, such as double-clicking on the status bar (as shown in the video). Thus, you can reply to messages in QuickIM without being distracted from the application in which you are at the moment.
One small drawback of the tweak is that you will need to enter your login and password to your Google account directly in the application, which does not look very secure, because, roughly speaking, you give the data for accessing your account directly to the QuickIM developers. Most likely, the authorization was done in this way due to the fact that the developers did not have an alternative, and not because they want to hack your accounts. However, this feature of the tweak is still worth remembering.
There is no such problem with Facebook authorization. it goes in a pop-up window through the official Facebook interface.
In general, let's hope that the developers will fix the current method of authorization in the Google account so that users do not have doubts about the security of the tweak. And if the developers add support for Vkontakte, then QuickIM will become one of the most popular messengers on iOS among the Russian-speaking audience.
