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.

Quit Changing the App!!
Seriously getting sick and tired of the "oh hey, come download the new update for messenger, it's gonna be great and better than the last update" when in all reality it doesn't even make a difference what they do. They could update it perfectly one day with no problems and actually make it fun/easy to use, then a week or so later when they update it again, it slows it down massively and makes things not work anymore. What happened to the convenient part where it says people who are "Active Now" in the home area of the app? I actually liked seeing people who were online right then and there just in case I needed to catch them quick for something important, but no you had to take it off for no reason as usual!
Quick reply is crummy and spotty
The quick reply feature is inconsistent at best. About 30% of my quick reply messages are never sent. This is quite frustrating when making plans with someone only to realize much later that they never received a message.
Also the notification red dot at the corner of the App icon will light up after you use the quick response. This leads you to believe that there is an unread message. Upon opening the app you'll see that your quick response message (when it actually sends) is the new message.
So, I'm guessing college interns made and maintain this app.
If it works, don't change it.
I use this app every day and it's a convenient method of staying in touch with people... But... Why would you get rid of the special notification sound?! I use this app for work related reasons and that notification was key; I actually knew my coworkers had responded. Now it's the generic iPhone sound and you can't change it! Also, you should have better notifications for message requests. I missed meeting up with someone because her message was filtered.
