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.
Chat heads: Keep the conversation going while you use other apps.
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 gallery 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.
Create shortcuts to get to any conversation right from your home screen.
Turn off notifications when you're working, sleeping or just need a break.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.

Good app The only thing wrong with this app is that whenever I end a call, it always asks me to rate the quality. A small fault, but I use it to call multiple times a day and EVERYTIME asking me to rate is a bit frustrating. Developers: make it like 1 in every 20 pleaseeee

Before the update it was great!! Ever since my phone automatically updated it the app won't load, at all. The only times I'm able to message people are if they pop up, and it still glitches. I've un-installed and re-installed it literally 6 times, each result being the same. I've had to restart my phone 4 times, still the same result. It's very annoying when it was working right before the update. There's no way to get the before updated version either. It's very convenient & I wish I could have it back and working.

Satisfied I love how handy this app has become and how it doesn't drain my battery like the older versions. Currently my only complaint is that GIF's that I have received will not play so I have to go to the Facebook app to watch them. If that was fixed for my Galaxy S5 then I would give 5 stars.

Updates that doesn't help a lot... I won't even say anything anymore. Just tired of the updates that nothing new happens. So yea, whatever..

Is your "1,000,000,000+ downloads" including updates? I'm not giving this more than a 3 star review if I keep getting these pointless incremental updates. I can almost guarantee the reason they update all the time is to make one star reviews for "an older version". It's a shame too, because the app does have some interesting features (among the bugs).

Not bad, although......... WTF is going on with the emoji stickers?!!! I can't see my own stickers I select and can't see stickers that are sent to me. Although at times it does work, but majority of the time, I have this problem. And not only on this messenger app but it also happens on Facebook too. Please fix this annoying issue and I'll give you 5 🌟 for sure. At least reply to this message I'm leaving here. C'mon devs!
Pretty crap Pretty crap app but we pretty much have to have it in order to inbox people on Facebook easily on mobile sooo don't really have much of a choice. To be fair though, something in the updates recently must have worked because now i don't seem to be uninstalling and re downloading every week or so because of all the glitches.
Extra unneeded app Why do I have to download a totally different app just for all my Facebook messages instead of having the chat feature in the original app like in the past. The extra app takes up more of my limited memory capacity and the worst part is, after you download the Messenger app, you can check messages back on the original Facebook app. Why didn't they just keep this feature ? I don't know
