Now the update enables integration of text messages with ChatOn mobile application and users can see them with their chat history. The text view is optional and users can go with both options whether the SMS & MMS are integrated with mess anger service or not.

The sad part is that the new update is only available in Brazil and Germany and promised to make it available for rest on the users very soon.

Samsung also told that the new update is working very smoothly with flag-ship devices like Samsung Note II, Note 3, Galaxy S III and S4.
