What is Messenger?
Facebook Messenger is a mobile messaging program that allows users to send and receive messages, share images, videos, and audio recordings, and participate in group discussions. The application, which is available for free download, allows you to chat with your Facebook friends as well as your phone contacts.
How does Messenger work?
Users just download the app to their smartphone or tablet; it may also be used on a computer. Messenger may be set up with either a Facebook account or a phone number. Messenger uses information from your Facebook profile to establish up your Messenger profile if you choose to set up an account with it.
Send Text, Pictures, and Video
Messenger is a texting program that may be used for one-on-one and group conversation, as well as sending photographs and video. It also comes with a slew of emoticons, stickers, and GIFs.
Another advantage of using Messenger to share photographs and videos is that the app and website aggregate all of the media assets so you can easily filter through them.
Make Voice or Video Calls
From the the desktop version, mobile app, and the Facebook website, Messenger offers voice and video calls. The phone icon is for voice conversations, while the camera icon is for video calls that are face-to-face. You may use the app or website to make free internet calls if you’re utilizing Messenger’s calling functionality on Wi-Fi.
Send Money
Using only your debit card details, you may pay money to someone over Messenger. Both the website and the mobile app allow you to do so.
Play Games
Even while in a group conversation, Messenger allows you to play games in the app or on the website. To play with other Messenger users, you don’t need to download another application or go to another website.
Share Your Location
Instead of needing a separate app to show someone where you are, Messenger’s built-in location-sharing capability, which only works from the mobile app, allows receivers to track your whereabouts for up to an hour.
