Facebook creates its own chat app

You use the system built-in chat on Facebook? Yeah, me neither. It is intrusive, spacious, has several different options and difficult to configure (like all of Facebook, actually) and the video plugin never worked right with me. But for those who do not feel bothered by it and have not yet discovered that there are dozens of better alternatives, it introduced a novelty.


Owners or tablets Android smartphones and devices running IOS gained the option of using a dedicated application for chatting on Facebook, appropriately named Messenger Facebook.

The purpose of the application is to allow faster access to the chat function for those on a mobile device, and offers new features that were not available before the complete application, the marking of places, upload photos and chat group.

The dedicated application chat rose from the ashes of the Beluga Messenger chat client which was bought by Facebook earlier this year. The iOS version will be available soon, but the Android version is available at this link.

Facebook has no plans to remove the chat functionality of your default application, the two must live together in harmony until the end of time. Or even all to see that Facebook chat is unbearable. You can already deduce an alternative first I want to happen right? Yeah.
