Facebook Messenger brings messaging to desktops

It has been a year when the social networking giant Facebook introduced standalone messenger app for the smartphone users but now the company has also leaped into the messenger saga for desktop users.

The new messenger site will allow the users to chat with their Facebook friends from a web browser, and will require the same username and password of your Facebook account, of course.

Nonetheless, the question arises, why Facebook has introduced a standalone messenger for web when Facebook itself can do the same?

The company has justified that this new web page for messaging is for those users who want to chat without the other distractions like the notifications, popping out every now and then. Thus Messenger.com is a platform to keep a special focus on messaging, according to the company.

With this standalone web page for messaging, Facebook does not plan to remove the messaging option from its main site.

Just like the messenger app for smartphones, the web page displays an option for settings to know About, Terms, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Help, Report a Problem and Logout. While the users can make video and audio calls along with typing the messages and can also add files and emoji,s to the conversation.
