We recently learned that Facebook would be bringing its new Messenger app to Windows 10 Mobile very soon. Great news for the second most used messaging app of the planet and that, therefore, I needed a version for this OS for mobile devices, although it is not as popular as others.
Well finally Facebook Messenger is available on Windows 10 Mobile so that users can download the new app from the Windows Store right away. As the new Messenger app is ported from iOS, the app includes most of all the features that are available in this OS for mobile devices owned by Apple.
For this reason, the app offers support for GIFs, stickers, nicks and other basic features such as push notifications, groups, Live Tile support, ability to edit group information, and much more.
This is the complete list of features:
- Receive notifications so you never miss a message
- You can see when you have a message waiting with a "Live Tile"
- Send photos, videos, GIFs and more
- Bring your conversations more lively with stickers
- Know when your contacts have seen your messages
- Create groups for people you usually talk to on a daily basis. You can also quote them and put photos for the group
- Send messages or photos to users who are not in the conversation
- Search for people and groups to get in touch with them quickly
It should be mentioned that the app is still in beta status, so you can expect bugs and some lack of performance on certain occasions. In any case, it is great news that Windows 10 Mobile users can opt for a Facebook Messenger that continues to increase in the number of users who use it on a daily basis.
