Yahoo is yet to deliver an official Yahoo Messenger client for Windows 8.1 and users are provided with quite a few alternatives when it comes to chatting with friends on this network.

As I told you the last week, the so-called Yahoo! Messenger for Windows 8.1 is an unofficial client that does exactly this and thanks to an update rolled out this morning, the whole experience offered to users should be even better.

The release notes published in the store point to a minor update that includes changes to make the UI more intuitive, but also to a previous update that added the ability to modify the display image.

The feature lineup is unchanged, meaning that you still have dedicated options to switch to invisible mode, share status updates, send animated emoticons, and receive files, use an avatar, and chat with multiple contacts at the same time thanks to group support.

Another great thing about this is the support it offers for all Windows 8.1 versions, including the desktop and the tablet SKUs, which allow users to install it on Surface RT tablets as well.

Overall, this update should be really great news for users, so download Yahoo Messenger for Windows 8.1 right now to chat with your friends from the Modern UI.
