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.

Only one small thing. Apart from not always updating the status of a message that I have already seen, it is working pretty well. The problem could be device-specific. It was not like that a few months ago before I updated the app.

Brutal. Not everyone uses FB daily or even weekly / monthly !! What an annoyance having to download this just to see a message on your mobile fb account. Stuffing FB down the general publics throat..classy
Messenger Will you STOP asking me to update / download apps that were working fine! I'm sick of this not updating MY status when I have READ a damn message! Long story short - waste of everybody's time!!!!!

I don't want to download this app, but you won't let me open messages from the Facebook app, this is really annoying. It takes a million years to update or load too, and just keeps asking to update all the time. Waste of time urgh and then it doesn't open on my phone at all after that latest update. This makes me wanna delete Facebook.

App lagging The app works perfectly fine most of the time. Then it suddenly has alot of lag it takes for ever to send a message. My phone is an s7 for reference
Bully app There is no other option to receive messages from fb if you do not have this app. This is one of most intrusive possibly spaying app there is. Wants permission for everything but the house key. This should be an option. Zuckerberg you are a bully!

Useless Obligatory app to install in order to be able to access my messages on facebook. U can simply allow reading and writing messages over the facebook app and this app would be totally useless not to mention its storage consumption
Awful The app doesn't open on my device making it a pointless download. Also, its stupid that on the FB app itself you can't view or send messages.
I don't want to link it to my phone to get texts and calls in the same place so I'm sick of the app asking me to. I also don't like how every time I go to take a picture in chat the app goes to confirm who I'm sending it to and asks if I want to add it to my day. Makes me feel like I'm gonna do something by mistake. And this my day crap is just that; crap. I have snapchat on the odd chance I wanna share pictures. I really wanna go back to the original messenger app coz updates are getting worse...
Uumm why has there been the same update for like the past 5 or so updates stop making people update stupid foolish nonsensed repeats
Better now. It crashes every time I've typed something fairly long from a previous version. It's better now with my devices.
Working well I have never had any problems with messenger. Always works and does it's job phenomenally. I fail to see how this app is rated anything less than five stars.
Useless app I downloaded and I update every time this app because I'm forced, I sincerely hate this app, it is annoying and useless
Forcing me to use this app for sms! Why the hell would you do this? Just one stupid tap and it´s all set? Not even asking for permission? And I have to go to settings to disable it and when I did I have to go through all that survey? F..k you FB!
No notification If some messages came there is no sign to show that these chats have sent messages
Very less of what is expected There are no way to pause and scroll with a video or stopping we just have to wait for it to end even when going back from full screen to the chat page, it's unbelievable how Facebook applications make you feel like they are done by someone who just started learning programming they have no logic.
Notifications not clearing When reading messages using chat heads notifications no longer clear. Wasn't an issue before, introduced in latest update.
Messenger Why!? I have text messaging!! I don't need more than 1 notification that I have a message!! So lame..
Messenger This app helps in many ways to call people around the country free on wifi I guess with updates regularly it works really great
I don't always get the notification of a new message right away. I would sometimes have to open the app. But otherwise the app is decent.
Update Thumbs up don't work sometimes and stickers don't animate...sometimes loses connection .....BRING BACK THE ANIMATED STICKERS!!!
Loving the sweet life Very smooth and easy to use. Really an app you can rely on!
99 out of 100 calls are accident Everyone uses their phone number and I bet average call is 0.5 seconds max because of all the accidental calls. Pin should be required to make a call. This app is a major fail on that part.
In order to have this app US Constitution is null and void In order to get your messages on your phone you have to have messenger and in the agreement you allow them to open your camera your microphone and let them spy on you
Facebook Forced App The only way to get messages from friends on Facebook. Contemplating dropping the social networking site because of their unwanted notifications and requiring me to use this app to get a message when I used to be able to through the website.
Not working properly. My messages aren't coming through straight away. Same thing is happening to some of the people I'm talking to. And it's taking hours for the messages to come through.
I'm not just living this application I have respect to much I'm not leaving this application I have respect him why respect because it connect to friend & nomber large people's like to make a great world 🌎 thank you so much Facebook to connect with you
why two apps? Is Facebook that incapable of putting messenger and the Facebook app together?
The force you to use it And even if they do so the app consumes a lot of ram...making my device slow
Update Great way to speak to someone if you don't have their number but don't like the merge of my phone text and calls on to this app. Let's keep them separate please 😕.
This app has a serious bug💥 When Calling on mobile data voice goes off after some time even the video is going good.....please fix this bug..I will be great full to developers ...🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love messenger it's good to keep in touch with loved ones Messenger
Good Easy way for chat users..nice chatting experience..online calling should be better
Can't get out of it when I want, installed yesterday and won't let me access messages! It sucks!
Love it Can't have FB without the messenger app only thing the developers should make a log out option for the app then I would def give five stars
Annoyed I don't like that I have to download an app just to read my FB messages...
It takes a long time to connect with the internet , even in a 3g network
update again can u explain wat ur update is this time please
No calling option..... Whrz da kollin option, I cant find da kollin option, whrz dat option in da messenger, is it really thr or is it a bluff....
:) ! BESTEST! :) it would be more better if we can make a group with bots. I will be thankful to you (messenger)
