Blue chat bubbles

Facebook Messenger is a messaging application developed by Meta (formerly Facebook) for sending text, photos, videos, and voice messages.

Originally built into Facebook, it became a standalone app in 2014.

Users can chat one-on-one or in groups, make voice and video calls, and send money.
