The Facebook Messenger app finally makes its way to the desktop. Facebook announced that it is launching a standalone desktop app for Messenger, making video calling and chatting with friends easier on your computer.
The Messenger app was reported to have been in the works for a while. With the launch, it joins a long list of apps enabling video conferencing on the desktop.
It is available for Windows as well as MacOS.
The app has similar features that are available to the mobile users. It allows you to connect with all your contacts via message or video calls. You also have access to group video calls.
Facebook has also introduced a dedicated dark mode on the standalone Messenger app and it syncs across all devices. You can send GIFs to your chats and receive (or mute) incoming notifications.
