Facebook Messenger is an instant
messaging service and
software application. Originally developed as Facebook
Chat in 2008, the company
revamped its messaging service in 2010, and subsequently released standalone iOS and Android apps
in August 2011. Over the years, Facebook has released new apps on a variety of
different operating systems, launched a dedicated website
interface, and separated the messaging functionality from the main
Facebook app, requiring users to use the web interface or download one of the
standalone apps. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers,
audio, and files, as well as react to other users' messages and interact with
bots. The service also supports voice and video calling.
The standalone apps support using multiple accounts, conversations with
optional end-to-end encryption, and playing games.
