Features & Capabilities

Messenger is a free messaging app that helps you connect with friends and family, anywhere. It combines group video calls, voice calls, text messaging, and more, so you can stay in touch, explore your interests with people like you, build your community, and share your vibe beyond words, all in one app.

Beyond chat, Messenger brings AI-powered help with Meta AI, high-resolution photo sharing, shared albums, and the ability to send large files up to 100MB. It supports QR codes for easy connections, editing and unsending messages, disappearing messages, and end-to-end encrypted chats. You can join communities, follow broadcast channels from creators, create Stories that disappear after 24 hours, use animated stickers, GIFs, and reactions, and customize chats with themes—reflecting your vibe. Meta AI is available in select languages and countries, with more coming soon.
