Messenger

Facebook Messenger is a standalone app developed by Facebook that allows users to send messages, share media, make voice and video calls, and interact with various features independently from the main Facebook app. Initially integrated into the Facebook app, this app became a separate app to enhance user experience with dedicated features for communication.

Updating your status on Facebook Messenger is slightly different from updating your status on Facebook. While this app doesn’t have a traditional status update feature like Facebook, it does have some ways to share your current status or mood with your contacts.
