Bring your conversations to life with stickers.
Send photos privately.
Have group conversations and make plans on the go.
Text your phone contacts, even if you're not Facebook friends.
Share your location so people know when you're nearby.
Record voice messages.
Make free calls, even to friends in other countries.
Know when people have seen your messages.
See who's available on Messenger and who's active on Facebook.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.
Turn off notifications when you're working, sleeping or just need a break.

Annoying and Useless
It works. It's completely functional. However, it is annoying. The new Facebook app has messaging built in again (it was removed for a while). That means if you have notifications on the main fb app and this one, you'll get two notifications per message

If you disable notifications on this app, it will show you a screen with instructions to enable notifications EVERY TIME YOU START THE APP! Um, no. That's a terrible design.

Also, if you message someone who is smart enough to NOT use this app, it will ask you to tell them to install the app. If you don't, IT WILL ASK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Can you see your "Other" folder with this app? Nope.

Now that messaging is back in the main app, I can gladly delete this one!

Great!
For log out: Tap the gear in bottom left. Go to Privacy and Terms. Tap the 3 line icon in top left. Scroll down to log out. If the 3 line icon is not there, delete app then download again. You may also have to update again. Nice update for tapping profile pic to go to Timeline. I like the notifications. It's like being alerted for a text in iMessage. Why do some not want that? If someone messages me, I want to know. Be sure to set for sounds in the Facebook settings too.
