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.

Customer Reviews
💞 Totes in ❤️love❤️ with Facebook Messenger 💞
📱 To be honest, I wasn't a big fan at all of Facebook Messenger, when it was first released and the fact that in order for you to even be able to check your Facebook messages, which was made impossible once this messenger app was released and therefore you were initially taken to the App Store and required to install not only the Facebook app, but if u wanted to be able to check your fb messages, send fb messages etc...then you'd have to also install the Facebook messenger app.....so now it's been like an official requirement now for any one to be able to communicate via Facebook using your iPhone, you could no longer communicate via just the Facebook app, you have to also install the messenger app in order to communicate with your friends and family and loved ones via Facebook....that part was the part I hated but I've grown to love Messenger in it's little own way 😎..plus it does offer a ton and tong of fun extras like voice chatting (which always helps when you have a lot to say and just typing it isn't enough!), plus recording videos and sending them to all your friends is always fun and pictures of course! Love love love the stickers as always! So Messenger I'm a fan now for sure thanks! 📱
Group messages could be improved
Last night I was thinking (almost never a good thing, but I think this time it was). You know how sometimes we come back to 98 unread messages and you are trying to catch up and it seems like (at least me) that is ALWAYS when someone (husband, kid, animal, freaking Dali Lama) needs you half way through? Wouldn't it be sweet if you could bookmark where you leave off somehow? I know my phone will drag it down to the newest message and it is soooo frustrating and I end up being mad at the universe and taking it out on everyone 😡😡😡😡😂😂😂😂😂. Instead of having to scroll back up and figure out what I have seen and haven't through 100's of messages, I could just go straight to my bookmark! I wouldn't be angry at anyone and the world would be a little more peaceful ✌🏼Support 💚, not 😡 Messenger, with a bookmarking feature - ASAP please 😉
Can't Get Notifications?
Even with the new update my notifications still will not work. I've redownloaded the app multiple times which is frustrating enough when you don't have a Facebook because you have to make an all new one & get ahold of the people you were talking to before by remembering their phone number. After many attempts to fix this problem, I'm back to where I started, still no notifications. If something could be done about both of these issues, that'd be great!
