Android's flavor of [Facebook Messenger](http://www.engadget.com/tag/FacebookMessenger/) has just been updated with [VoIP functionality](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/facebook-app-for-ios-adds-free-voice-calls-for-north-america/) for the social network's Canadian users. There's no word when Android faithful in the US will snag the functionality, but Cancuks can at least ring their American counterparts who wield the [iOS app](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/16/facebook-starts-turning-on-free-voice-calls/). Version 2.3 of the mobile messenger also makes group conversations accessible in the sidebar, allows them to be named from the top of a talk and makes them searchable by name and friends. Hit the neighboring source link to grab the revamped software.
