Facebook Messenger free download has recently been gaining a huge following and all this can be attributed to the fact that this application is owned by Facebook, which has more than 1 billion people using it from all over the world.
Facebook Messenger free download was introduced to the fold by Facebook in 2012. This application was meant to be an instant messenger that Facebook users could make use of, when on the go. When it was introduced, it again relieved some duties from the Facebook mobile app, which previously supported the chat feature. While the Facebook mobile app still offers the users with other abilities such as accessing their timelines, commenting on friends’ status as well as changing their profiles, it is not possible to send instant messages using this application.
On the other hand, the capabilities of Facebook Messenger free download are associated with instant messaging. Better still, you can get all of these services from the desktop client.
Facebook Messenger free download for Android and iOS
Facebook Messenger free download is available for all major mobile operating systems. It is possible to install the latest version of Messenger on an iOS, Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry device. This is one major contributing factor of the recent swell in the number of people using this application.
Facebook Messenger has no version for PCs. However, you can bring this amazing application to the desktop environment using an Android emulator known as BlueStacks. Alternatively, you can use the desktop client which will grant you access to both services of the Facebook mobile app and the Messenger.
Latest Messenger updates for iOS and Android users
When Messenger rolled out recent updates, both sets of the most dominant users received new features to their specific platforms. Users of the Android devices have now been updated with a new feature where they will be able to create groups and chat with the group members using texts, pictures, videos and even audio notes. This is an amazing addition, considering the fact that most of Facebook Messenger’s competitors that include Viber free download, WhatsApp free download and Line free download, have already implemented this feature.
On the other hand, the iOS users of Facebook Messenger got a different and much better feature. If you are using an iOS smartphone or tablet, you can download the latest version of Facebook Messenger from the official iTunes App Store and on this new version, you will be able to transfer funds from your account to your friends. However, this service is currently available in the U.S. only. All you need to make this happen is add a MasterCard or VISA to your payment modes or accounts and then follow it by creating a TouchID or a PIN code to protect the service.
According to Facebook, the new service for transferring funds is free of any charge and using it is very easy. Furthermore, the service is believed to be extremely secure such that there won’t be any cases of frauds with user accounts. In short, Facebook has assured its users that there are enough security protocols and measures that have been put in place to ensure that using this feature does not cause them any trouble with their finances.
Sending money using the Facebook money transfer feature
To send money to a friend using the new Facebook money transfer feature is very easy. All you need is to tap on the dollar sign and follow it by entering the amount you wish to transfer. After that, select “Pay” and add the details of your card and that will be it.
Receiving the money is not a problem either, as long as you have a card added to the feature. However, you should note that just like any other money deposit service, the money sent via the Facebook money transfer feature can take up to 3 working days before it is reflected in your account. This will of course depend on other factors like your bank, location and many others.
