Facebook has announced the release of the new Messenger app for both iPhone and Android-powered devices. The Facebook Messenger app is an extension of Facebook messages and is a separate app from the Facebook app.
Using the Messenger app, you only takes one click to get to your messages or send a new one. With this, you are provided with a faster way to message your Facebook friends (and a group of friends) right from your mobile.
Whether you’re on your phone or on the web, you can see the full history of all your messages. Messages are delivered through notifications and texts. All your conversations are in one place, including your texts, chats, emails and messages.
