This work is set to be completed in 2020.

Facebook is currently undergoing a transition to make all of its messaging services across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp integrated and end-to-end encrypted. We are testing this now and will roll it out globally later this year.įacebook will unveil the new Messenger Mac and Windows apps as part of a wider announcement of new Messenger features. You can download Messenger Desktop - and enjoy the same features as the app on your phone - like group video calls, collaborate on projects or multi-task while chatting in Messenger. People want to seamlessly message from any device, and sometimes they just want a little more space to share and connect with the people they care about most. We’re also launching a desktop app for Messenger that’s available for both Windows and MacOS. There isn’t much to go on right now apart from one screenshot of the Windows version of the app, which if you squint looks an awful lot like the Skype desktop app.įacebook Messenger for Mac will offer the same feature set as the mobile version, including group video chat. iGeneration first spotted the (now-removed) announcement. The company is set to announce the new app at its F8 conference at 1 PM ET, but tipped the hat slightly early thanks to a blog post published too soon. Facebook Messenger is coming to the Mac (and Windows) later this year.
