Facebook delivered on its promise to
Windows Phone users and launched its Facebook Messenger on WP8. The
app features the full social network experience with stickers,
photos, statuses, checking messages without opening Facebook, and
more.
There's group conversation and location sharing support. You
can see who's read your messages, who's using Messenger, who's active
on Facebook, and who's who in general. You can have notifications on
and off at your will, and keep your conversation history and contacts
backed on your phone.
The app looks exactly how the
screenshots depict it, and runs very smoothly. It's separated in two
screens - "recent" and "messenger". There's a
minimum amount of buttons to navigate and text your way through the
app. There's also a very handy feature that lets you browse your
friend list by the first letter of your contacts' names.
However, if
you don't have friends that start with "A", for example,
the app won't waste your time with an empty screen, but it will
visually indicate there are no A-names to be found in your address
book.
Overall, Facebook Messenger was worth
the wait. It's polished, lightweight, and shows Facebook gave it the
necessary attention. You can download it from the link below.
