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.
Chat heads: Keep the conversation going while you use other apps.
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 gallery 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.
Create shortcuts to get to any conversation right from your home screen.
Turn off notifications when you're working, sleeping or just need a break.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.

Why so big .... It takes over 100MB's...!!! Why we will use fb & its messenger app....? Only this two is enough to spoil the performance of a phone .

Still can't disable free call! No option to disable free call. We should not have to install another app for messages. If anything, free call should be it's own app so we have the option to install it or not.

Can't hide online status Why must I tell everyone that I'm online? Shouldn't I be allowed to make that decision myself? Please don't invade my privacy any further!

Against basic freedon Friends have msg and i cant read them unless i download the app. I dont like being forced to download something.
Kind of irritating For some reason when I select one person's message thread, it suddenly switches over to another? On top of that, the message bubbles pops up along with a preview of the message and when I go to open it, the blue preview pops up over and over, making me close and open the chat bubble. Please fix. Got 3 stars anyway, because I enjoy the new customizable chat options.
1) Ability to send files is lacking (only photos are allowed), it should be added. 2) Some apps for messenger have overlapping functions, which should be cut down 3) Messenger should allow voice messages of more than 1 minutes. It should also add the ability to play voice messages like regular audio players, with the ability to skip, rewind, choose particular moment and so on. 4) Messenger should also enable users to navigate older messages more easily, perhaps by organizing messages into segments chronologically and allow users to open messages of particular week, month, or year, without having to endlessly scroll the way up. I might be asking for too much, but if messenger ever acquires those functions, it'd be best of its kind, period.
Why!?! App is a terrible memory hog, has a massive file size. It's always active but sometimes it won't tell when you have received a new message!! Can't seam to disable the free fall option someone can always call you!!! Takes FOREVER to install and update often freezing the whole phone in the process!! Many times it won't even update/download properly and you have to try several times. COMPLETELY UNACCECPTABLE!!! Using a web browser to access Facebook is a ten times easier and quicker!
Broken (May 2016 Update) Refuses to reconnect especially when going inbetween wireless and 4G networks. Recieved message Notifications are now 100% broken, will no longer notify on any new messages. This has been confirmed on fresh out of box Galaxy s6 s7 without latest update and WITH latest updates with no other applications installed.
Dafuq Same problem with being stuck waiting for connection and keeps going offline and staying offline mid use its frustrating getting cut off every minute while chatting with someone, slow message sending when online with any internet. Pretty much everything went snail speed after the recent updates. Please fix.
It ruined my phone I am done. I only got facebook so I could use the messenger to talk to my friends and family. The messages send but it takes up to half an hour for them to be delivered, if they even get delivered. It's ridiculous. This update has not only messed up the apps, but it's messed up my phone. I updated messenger the other day to try and see if that would fix my messages not being delivered but it made it worse because now phone randomly stops typing and it freezes and certain letters don't work.
Sucks If I could give zero stars I would. Tried to sign in without Facebook, requested a code, Facebook sent four in axrow then blocked me 'for going too fast,go to help page' Well, help page is nothing more than regular people like me who have the same complaint with ZERO ANSWERS. Zuckerberg can shove both his apps and his entire company. I'm done.
Bloated, slow and not needed. It takes too long to install meaning it's badly optimised or too intrusive. People love apps that make life more convenient. This is not one of them. It's slow, uses too much resources and is no better than the in-app messenger that Facebook has blocked us from using. This app is so badly handled. There are far to many updates and numerous updates go by without ever changing the "What's New" section. What is Facebook trying to hide?
New update and the app is even worse. This is actually ridiculous, now messages simply refuse to send regardless of connectivity, and I'll receive them just fine. Nobody cares about their facebook call history, we want to be able to chat, since this is literally the only way to do so from mobile without using your even more absolutely garbage mobile site.
Works fine BUT... I guess the recent update made it so whenever you use the Messenger Phone a HUGE annoying bubble appears on your phone screen with the picture of the person you're talking to. It's extremely annoying and takes up too much space. I cant seem to get rid of it since I couldnt find anything in the settings, and to top it off I cant drag it to the bottom of the screen because IT ENDS THE CALL! I can't access certain websites on my phone because of it either. Can someone help me with this?
No choice... Force us to download an app to "fix" something that wasn't broken. If I could give it negative stars then you would have a perfect -10 (yes... NEGATIVE 10). I'm about ready to give up on Facebook except that it's still better than nothing to find and keep in touch with my family and friends. But I'm sure you're going to "fix" that soon enough too...... 5-18-2016 I still think this app is atrocious ... I still hate it! 😭
