Ben Reid·September 30, 2014

Some ten days after the official roll-out of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the official Facebook Messenger app has just been updated in compliance with both new handsets.

Oliver Haslam·August 19, 2014

When Facebook brought Stickers to Facebook Messenger they weren't completely successful in making everyone buy into what it was trying to achieve. Ostensibly just giant emoji with an element of semi-personalization by allowing users to buy new stickers beyond what is available by default, Stickers are either something you love and can't stop using, or something you just couldn't care less about.

How To Use Facebook Chat On Your Mobile Without Downloading Messenger App

Ben Reid·August 12, 2014

The fact that, some time ago, Facebook decided to separate the Messenger segment of its service into a standalone mobile app wasn't too much of an issue when it initially went down. After all, users could still easily continue to communicate using the official app, and the Facebook Messenger app was a convenient service dedicated to IM only. However, as users have noticed over the past couple of months, Facebook for iOS and Android is now a message-free zone, which, aside from being inconvenient, seems a tad unnecessary. Luckily, there's a way to circumvent the limitation, and whether you're rocking Facebook Messenger for Apple's iOS or Google's Android platform, you'll find a fairly simple workaround below.

Paul Morris·July 29, 2014

As part of its continuing effort to focus on user-experience and force the majority of mobile users of its service to download and install the official Messenger app, Facebook has reiterated the fact that the built-in chat and messaging functionality will soon disappear from the main Facebook app. The Palo Alto based social network has plied significant resources into developing and improving the Facebook mobile experience over the last twenty-four months, with the standalone Facebook Messenger app spearheading that internal initiative. Over the next few days users who still have access to the chat functionality within the main Facebook app will be receiving notifications to warn them of the impending change.
