Facebook Messenger Comes to Windows and macOS

Today, Facebook officially announced the Messenger app for both macOS and Windows.

According to Facebook, in the last month, they have seen more than a 100 percent rise in users using their mobile audio and video browsers calling Messenger. Now with MacOS and Windows devices they can now have the same experience that the Messenger comes to your phone, including open and unrestricted party video calls.

Here are the highlights of the application:

• Group video calls on a larger screen. Stay in touch with family and friends, join a workout, or host a virtual happy hour. 
• Easy to connect. You don’t need to know someone’s email or phone number since all your Facebook friends have Messenger.
• Multitasking. Your chats are easily accessible, and you can pop in and out of the app while doing other things on your computer. 
• Notifications. You can receive notifications for new messages, so you can quickly find the chat you’re looking for. But you’re in control — you can choose to mute and snooze notifications.
• Chats sync across mobile and desktop. You’ll never miss a call or message no matter what device you’re using. 
• Everything you love about Messenger on a bigger screen. Including Dark Mode and GIFs.

You can download the app today from the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store.
