Messenger, formerly known as Facebook Messenger, is the official Facebook messaging client, thanks to which you can conveniently and quickly chat with all your friends. This app allows you to send text messages, audio, photos, videos, stickers, emojis, and more. At your disposal are virtually all the features of great apps like WhatsApp Messenger.

Login using your Facebook account

To start using Messenger, the first thing you need to do is to log in with your Facebook account. This process will be much faster if the app is installed on the same device. But if you don't, you must enter the phone number linked to your Facebook account or email address. The important thing is that you have an active Facebook account. Otherwise, you won't be able to send or receive messages from your contacts. You won't even be able to log in to the app.

Choose who you want to talk to

One of the first actions you should take when you start using Messenger is to manage 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 if you prefer, you can have this message appear as a request first. Similarly, you can get friends' messages directly to this request section. And, of course, you can block any contact you don't want to talk to.

Enjoy much more than text messages

As with almost all modern messaging tools, you can send much more than text messages with Messenger. You can send audio files, photos, or videos and make voice or video calls, including group calls with up to eight people. Thanks to Messenger Video Chat and Rooms, you can even enjoy watching virtual in-person videos with your loved ones. With this feature, you can watch movies with your friends, each from their own home, while sharing your reactions in real-time.

Send and receive money through the app

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

Get an all-purpose messaging app

Download the Messenger APK for free if you're a regular Facebook user and want to connect with your friends and family easily. Thanks to the app's cross-platform nature, you can start conversations on your desktop and continue them on your Android device. The best way to stay in touch with your loved ones is this.
