Product Team update: Behind the scenes of the latest fring for iPhone
Hi fringsters,
I’m back again with some more ‘behind the scenes’ product insights.
Following our latest iPhone release, the one with the cool camera flip and the iTunes fringOut credit purchase, we saw that some of you were asking “Where did all my friends go? I used to have a full buddy list, but now it’s nearly empty and I can’t even re-add my missing buddies”.
Well, one of the changes we’ve made in this version was displaying only online buddies. We’ve figured that you simply can’t video call friends who are currently offline, or call your contacts using fringOut without having any fringOut credit. Therefore, by displaying only online buddies, you get a shorter, more relevant, and infinitely more interactive buddy list. Of course, all the offline buddies are still there, and will be displayed again when they come back online. Address book contacts are displayed as soon as you’ll purchase fringOut credit.
Basically we moved from the crowded —> to the easy on the eyes
However, for those of you who still wish to see all the buddies, go to your device’s settings, click the line with the fring icon, change the setting named “Show offline buddies” to “ON”, and restart fring. We know it’s outside the application, but that’s the way things are done in the iPhone world. To view all the address book contacts use the “Manage add-ons” option in the “More” tab of the application.
As always, feel free to comment to help us make an even better fring for you. We hope you’ll enjoy our new version – let us know what you think!
Cheers,
Gilad

What abt us folks who ‘only’ hv Nokia/Symbian phones? When can we get the Flip Camera Feature upgrade????? I love using Fring and like to share my surroundings with my buddies - it’s pretty restrictive without the added feature.
