Last week Yahoo gave a sneak peak of their upcoming Messenger iPhone App and now its released in app store.

Features of Yahoo Messenger App For iPhone :

• Instant message: Send text messages back and forth with your friends, including emoticons and web links.
• Photo sharing: Take a photo on your iPhone and send that, or grab one from your photo gallery to share.
• Stealth settings: Sign in as invisible, or change your status to invisible once you’re in the app.
• Custom status message: Enter a custom status message for your friends to see. You can even include a web link with it.
• Recent conversations archive: Under Messages, tap a contact and you’ll see your most recent conversation. You can type in a message from there to start chatting again.
• Special idle state: If you have to leave the app for whatever reason, like a call comes in or you click a link in an IM that takes you to Safari, the Yahoo! Messenger for iPhone app will keep you signed in but change your status to idle. That way you can continue to receive messages and provided you return to the app within ten minutes, pick up where you left off.
• Additional settings: Tap the Settings icon to change the sort order of your contact list, or to show or hide offline contacts in your list.

You can download the app from the iTunes App Store Link.

PS: This seems like a initial roll out as this app is not available in any app store except US iTunes store. Its not there in Canada, UK and ofcourse India. So, people in India might have to wait a little to get their hands on the app. We really hoped that Yahoo won’t be choosing this path but anywayz

Update : Its now available in India
