Description
Instantly reach the people in your life—for free. Messenger is just like texting, but you don't have to pay for every message (it works with your data plan).
Not just for Facebook friends: Message people in your phone book and just enter a phone number to add a new contact.
Group chats: Create groups for the people you message most. Name them, set group photos and keep them all in one place.
Photos and videos: Shoot videos and snap selfies or other photos right from the app and send them with one tap.
Free calls: Talk as long as you want, even with people in other countries. (Calls are free over Wi-Fi. Otherwise, standard data charges apply.)
Even more ways to message:
Bring your conversations to life with stickers.
Preview your camera roll photos and videos without leaving the conversation--then choose the perfect ones to send.
Record voice messages when you have more to say.
Extra features:
Know when people have seen your messages.
Forward messages or photos to people who weren't in the conversation.
Search for people and groups to quickly get back to them.
Turn on location to let people know when you're nearby.
See who's available on Messenger and who's active on Facebook.
Turn off notifications when you're working, sleeping or just need a break.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.

Bug Fixes

Customer Reviews
Why the hate?
I really don't understand why people dislike this app so much. I found myself extremely pleased with the app itself. I have never had any problems with it, like bugs and the like. The app never has failed in showing any notifications and always works just fine. It takes barely any time to start and is very smooth. I feel like people are overreacting about the whole, you need to need to download it, but they took it out so they could make the Facebook app better. I found this app to work great and be very reliable, and that is my honest opinion.
Good app BUT.......
good app but when I texted my family member he didn't say the same words that he usually would say so I got kinda scared thinking that someone prob like hacked into his device or stole it and decided to text me so I tried to block him and it didn't give me the choice to block him I think this app would be an excellent app for people like me if there was a block button on the app so people like I was texting wouldn't do That to anyone else I think if it had a blocking app it would be. The best texting app ever so please take this in consideration and add a blocking button
Nice!
To log out, go to the app's settings>Privacy and Terms>tap the white arrow in top left on the blue>tap the "3 line icon in top left>scroll down the menu to "log out" and log out. It looks like the Facebook menu, which it is. But it will log you out of Messenger. It will not affect your Facebook app. Make sure you know all your log in credentials. Gets confusing when posting a photo. And sometimes part of my text gets cut off. But nice!
