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.

Customer Reviews
What is going on??
I love the messenger app, honestly. it does everything I ask it to and more, but now all of a sudden the top of my screen glitches flashing the red banner that says "couldn't load messages" when I'm not trying to?
in order to get it to stop I had to close out of the app and reopen it, at first. then it did it so much I had to redownload the app. this was fine. the first three times maybe. NOW I can't even see my recents and it won't let me message anyone? I've lost all of my messages and have even lost my group chats. I don't understand why this is happening but others I talk to say that they do not have this problem. messenger has never glitched like this before, other than the occasional wrong face in the wrong conversation but that's never been a bother not has it been as severe as this one.
please fix asap, I use messenger to keep in contact with everyone and this sudden glitch is very upsetting.
Worst app ever!
This is my first time writing a review for almost anything. And i am so glad to spend time writing review for the worst app ever. If i could give it zero star, i would be more than happy to do so. Recently it started "black out" my conversation and entire app seemed like ... dead! Personally i dont use facebook app because of too much storage stealing from my phone. Only reason i use this app is for particular people i know that they dont use any other type of communication technology. During the "black out" time, i tried to message people on my facebook web but it was also down.
If you force other people to use your product, the you should better convince them about the outstanding values which other rivals dont offer. In this case, you have none and failed horribly!
Glitches
This recent version is kinda horrible. I've had to delete and redownload the entire app because it didn't show my conversations at least 4 times and even then, it still glitches. I don't get notifications and there is a red sign that keeps on popping up about how it couldn't load my messages, even though my phone will load everything else. This didn't happen before this update, and I'd appreciate it if you could fix it. Thank you in advance!
P.S. I love the idea of nicknames and colors, but there have been a few arguments over what the settings should have been, and I was wondering if you could make it personalized?
