Messenger
Meta's chat app
A messenger is someone who carries messages or delivers communications between parties.
The word extends to anyone who brings news or information: Don't shoot the messenger.
In religious contexts, prophets and angels serve as messengers between the divine and human realms.
Messenger also names various delivery and communication apps, and appears in compounds like bike messenger for urban couriers.
