Messenger: Stay Connected with Friends and Family

Messenger, formerly known as Facebook Messenger, is the official messaging client for Facebook. It offers a convenient and efficient way to connect with your friends and family.

Log In with Your Facebook Account

To get started with Messenger, simply log in using your Facebook account. This process is streamlined if the app is installed on the same device as your Facebook account. Otherwise, you can enter the phone number or email address associated with your Facebook account. Note that an active Facebook account is required to use Messenger.

Customize Your Privacy Settings

Upon logging in, manage your privacy settings to control who can message you. By default, anyone with your phone number can send you direct messages. However, you can choose to receive these messages as requests first. Similarly, you can direct messages from friends to this request section. You also have the option to block unwanted contacts.

Beyond Text Messages

Messenger goes beyond text messaging. You can send audio files, photos, and videos. It also allows you to make voice and video calls, including group calls with up to eight participants. With Messenger Video Chat and Rooms, you can enjoy virtual video gatherings with loved ones, even watching movies together from the comfort of your own homes.

Send and Receive Money

A convenient feature of Messenger is the ability to send and receive money securely. This makes it easy to split bills with friends or family. To use this feature, you'll need to add your debit card or PayPal account. Currently available in the US, this feature will be rolled out to other countries in the future.

An All-Purpose Messaging App

For those who regularly use Facebook, Messenger is an indispensable app for connecting with friends and family. Its cross-platform compatibility allows you to start conversations on your desktop and continue them seamlessly on your Android device. Messenger is the ultimate way to stay in touch with your loved ones.
