Facebook is already doing big things this year, from virtual reality to legally getting a divorce through the site to sending cash to your friends or adding stickers to your photos. Also, Facebook Messenger was recently rated as the number one app for iPhone users. But they weren’t going to stop there. Yesterday, Facebook launched it’s newest feature, Messenger.com. Finally, no more having to type on a tiny screen on the lower right side of your Facebook page on your PC. No more annoying distractions from your news feed. And no more killing your cell phone battery by chatting away with the messenger app. Now you can simply log on to the Messenger website and send messages without any interruptions. You will, however, still be able to use the messenger option right on Facebook.com or the Facebook app, if you choose to do so.
According to cnet.com, over six million people use Facebook’s messenger app each month. They are constantly trying to figure out new ways and new updates to keep users from going to competitor apps. Facebook also bought out Whatsapp last year and released a desktop version for it in January. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is quite intelligent if I do say so myself.
I personally haven’t tried out the new site, but below is a photo I borrowed from the web on how the new messenger website looks.
