Facebook Messenger 5.0.0.0 - app

Facebook Messenger for Windows Phone allows you to chat with your Facebook friends in comfort. 

Why use Facebook Messenger?

If you chat a lot with your buddies on Facebook then Facebook Messenger is definitely a better option than using the Facebook app itself. Just like the standalone Facebook Messenger apps for iOS and Android, the Windows Phone version allows you to chat to individual Facebook contacts or groups of contacts very easily.

Besides the standard text chat, you can use Facebook Messenger to capture and share photos, share your location, and send stickers. You can name group conversations and add images to them to help you organize chats better.

Facebook Messenger for Windows Phone lacks some of the more interesting features of the Android and iOS versions of the app. For example, there's no free calling or voice messaging, and it doesn't allow you to message non-Facebook contacts on your device.

Facebook with a Windows Phone twist

The Facebook Messenger app looks clean and fresh and is well integrated into the Windows Phone user experience. The application supports notifications, which can be enabled or disabled. New messages appear at the top of the screen no matter what you're doing on your phone. The Live Tile shows you how many new messages you have and, if set to the largest tile size, will display message text (though not images) inside the tile.

When it comes to navigating the app itself, Facebook Messenger is straightforward. You have a list of recent chats and messages, a list of Facebook Messenger contacts, and a list of 'active' contacts. You can simply swipe between each of these lists.

The quickest Facebook chat app for Windows Phone

Though it lacks the voice capabilities of the iOS and Android versions, Facebook Messenger is the fastest way to chat with Facebook friends on a Windows Phone.
