About Messenger

Messenger is Meta's messaging app, built for everyday chat with friends, family and groups. Send text, photos, videos, voice messages and stickers, start free voice and video calls over Wi-Fi or mobile data, and share your location or a payment link when it is useful. Chat themes, reactions and nicknames keep long-running conversations personal.

Group chats support large friend groups and shared polls, and calls can include several people at once. Personal chats and calls are end-to-end encrypted, and you can set a PIN to restore your history on a new phone. Messenger works with a Facebook account.

The app is free to use and has no advertising in chats. This build is about 86 MB.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Facebook account for Messenger?

Are Messenger chats encrypted?
