"Facebook on Thursday pushed out an update to its Slingshot photo messaging service and app, allowing users to bypass the \"reply-to-unlock\" mechanic by replying to \"reactions\" with photos, video or text. \r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/l/?link=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slingshot/id878681557?mt=8\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=http://photos.appleinsider.com/gallery/10053-2048-140731-Slingshot-l.png alt=\"\" /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;\r\n&amp;lt;span class=\"minor2 small gray\"&amp;gt;Source: &amp;lt;a href=\"http://blog.sling.me/post/93427950457/introducing-reactions-to-reactions-and-more\"&amp;gt;Slingshot blog&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/l/?link=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slingshot/id878681557?mt=8\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Slingshot&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; version 1.1 looks to &amp;lt;a href=\"http://blog.sling.me/post/93427950457/introducing-reactions-to-reactions-and-more\"&amp;gt;loosen restrictions&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; on the \"reply-to-unlock\" mode of operation, which in many situations required users to respond to an unrelated post if they wanted to carry on a conversation.\r\n\r\nWith the latest version, users can now respond to a reaction with a photo, video or text. \r\n\r\nFor example, in the above &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Slingshot&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; conversation taken from the service's official blog, Joey first sends a picture of a shop, which Drew unlocks by slinging back a photo. Once the photo is unlocked, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Slingshot&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; allows Joey to post a \"reaction,\" which in this case was the question, \"What shop is this?\" \r\n\r\nPrior to today's update, Drew's options for reply would be to send a new photo to be unlocked, or react to a different shot from Joey, if one existed. The method was cumbersome and made long back-and-forth conversations difficult. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the reactions-to-reactions feature, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Slingshot&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; now links with Facebook and Address Book contacts for friend discovery. Finally, a new My People tab organizes ongoing conversations in one place for quick access. \r\n\r\n&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Slingshot&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; version 1.1 is available now as a &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/l/?link=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slingshot/id878681557?mt=8\"&amp;gt;free 11MB download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; from the App Store.
