Messenger

Messenger, formerly known as Facebook Messenger, is the official Facebook messaging client, allowing you to conveniently and quickly chat with all your friends. This app lets you send text messages, audio, photos, videos, stickers, emojis, and more. It offers virtually all the features of popular apps like WhatsApp.

Login using your Facebook account

To start using Messenger, you need to log in with your Facebook account. This process is faster if the app is installed on the same device. If not, you must enter the phone number linked to your Facebook account or email address. You must have an active Facebook account to send or receive messages and log in to the app.

Choose who you want to talk to

One of the first steps when using Messenger is managing your privacy settings. From this tab, you can choose your message preferences. By default, anyone with your phone number can send you a direct message, but you can choose to have this message appear as a request first. Similarly, you can receive friends' messages directly in the request section. You can also block any contact you don't want to talk to.

Enjoy much more than text messages

Like most modern messaging tools, Messenger allows you to send more than just text messages. You can send audio files, photos, or videos and make voice or video calls, including group calls with up to eight people. With Messenger Video Chat and Rooms, you can enjoy virtual in-person video calls with loved ones. Watch movies with friends from their homes while sharing reactions in real-time.

Send and receive money through the app

A useful feature of Messenger is the ability to send and receive money quickly and securely, allowing you to split bills with friends easily. You must add your debit card or PayPal account. This feature, initially launched in the US, will be gradually added to other countries.
