Obviously, a PSN account is required to use its features

Sony has just released another mobile application aimed at PlayStation owners. The new application is simply called PlayStation Messages, and as the name suggests, it allows users to send messages to their friends.

The application is now available for both Android and iOS devices, so Windows Phone users seem to have been skipped from the initial launch of PlayStation Messages.

In fact, the Japanese company did not make any announcements regarding a possible Windows Phone version of its new application, so we must assume they don't plan to release it.

According to developers, PlayStation Messages allows users to see who's online, but also send messages to friends and favorite groups directly from a mobile device. Also, Sony only mentions the PlayStation 4 among the systems the application is compatible with.

With PlayStation Messages, you will be able to send text or voices messages as well as photos and stickers to your friends or a group of up to 100 players.

One more messaging app is exactly what we needed

It's not that there aren't enough messaging applications available on these two mobile platforms, but it looks like Sony likes to do things its way.

Android and iOS users will also be able to quickly access their favorite message groups from their favorite list, directly from a mobile device. That's about all the features the application has to offer initially, but if it becomes popular, maybe Sony will add more.

If this sounds interesting to you, then you can now download PlayStation Messages for Android for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 4.0.3 and up.

For iOS users, the application can be downloaded for free via App Store. It should work smoothly on all devices running iOS 7.0 or newer.

Keep in mind that you will need a PlayStation Network account to use PlayStation Messages' features mentioned earlier.
