Facebook has taken multi-tasking to a new level by introducing a game to its Messenger mobile app for the first time.

Not content with offering a multitude of games within its main mobile app, the social network has found a way for users to keep busy when chatting.

You can now play Pictionary-style game Doodle Draw while you wait for a reply from a friend, without having to leave the app.

According to TheNextWeb, the game is available on Apple and Android devices, and users need to download it from the App Store or Google Play Store before it becomes available within the Messenger app.

It remains to be seen whether there is huge demand for games within this sort of app, but we’ll soon find out.
