Facebook Messenger for Windows is a free application available for download on any personal computer. It had been integrated within the Facebook platform itself and developed in 2012 as a separate app. After years of adding features and whittling them back down, Messenger has achieved a happy medium. The application runs great on a laptop because it requires a lot of data which might burden a mobile device.

A fully-realized chat app

A great way to make yourself available to your community

Features FB communication can be done in a variety of ways. The app offers audio clips, images, video, emojis, and stickers to send to your pals. Amazingly, users may transfer money through the chat app if he or she chooses to register their bank account information on the app.

Today, the new Facebook Messenger for Windows 10 is rolling out to select users. If you're lucky enough, you should be able to get it by downloading the Messenger beta from the Microsoft Store. Made for big screens and close connections. Get access to free. texting, and high-quality voice & video chat built specifically for desktop. MADE FOR DESKTOP, MADE FOR YOU Type even faster, multitask while video chatting so you never miss a moment, and stay connected with desktop notifications. Messenger 10 is a solid app that combines two of the world's most popular messaging services. While it's limited to Facebook and WhatsApp, it handles these services well and integrates them into.

The developers have not stopped there. The app allows for VoIP and live video chat one-on-one and in groups as well. Group chat is also on offer for persistent chats among up to 10 users.

Messenger's chatbots provide information or receive action commands when you type with them. You find them through the search bar. Rather disappointingly, the utility of these chatbots is diminished by the fact, each one is designed for a specific function. I believe this makes it needlessly difficult to discern what powers they hold.

Messages on the app are transmitted through encryption keys that are managed by Facebook. Ostensibly Facebook or government officials can obtain those messages if garnered through the proper legal channels. Facebook offers an extra layer of privacy protection through the Secret Conversations mode. Secret Conversations use the Signal system to transfer end-to-end fully encrypted messages and enable the timer to set an expiration date on the message. The message will then be deleted forever. The black bar across the top of the screen imbues on the user the secrecy of this texting mode. Otherwise, the experience feels like a simpler version of the normal chat mode. Secret Conversation mode still allows the user to send text, stickers, videos, photos, and location.

Facebook's brand made it the most popular social media platform in the world. This leads to FB messenger's best feature; everyone is already on it! There is no need to goad your friends and family into downloading a new app. If by chance they are not on Facebook, the app can send SMS messages to anyone's phone number easily. Third-party apps don't always take to FB Messenger very well. But, sometimes these apps offer a feature that completes the already impressive catalog of emoji, stickers, GIFS, and other media products.

Messenger is ahead of the curve in another domain. The chat app is prioritizing interoperability between other famous chat products. This means users can send messages directly to WhatsApp and Instagram users. This feature will keep Messenger abreast of the latest developments in the chat app space which should boost your confidence in its use. The app has a great look to it as well. The icons are appealing and conversations are neatly stacked to the side, ready to be drawn up at any time. The application is stable, fun and has a large audience. These are great features in a chat application.

Our take

On a desktop, however, all the media products available for sharing on Facebook Messenger run more smoothly. Facebook Messenger is an excellent messenger app for the simple reason that everyone is on it!

Should you download it?

Yes. Messenger for Windows should be welcomed by anyone using a PC that runs Windows software. Grandparents immediately spring to mind. Mirror xbox one to another tv. Older generations often use PC desktops. If not for Messenger on Windows, this population would likely not be able to use the product at all, because they may not have a mobile device to download the app. The product is ideal for anyone who uses their PC throughout the day and finds themselves constantly picking up their phone to communicate. Many might fit that description but work in an office where downloading a messenger app would not be tolerated. These people will have to keep Messenger on their mobile device or their home computer.
