In this article, you are going to see how you can download Facebook Messenger for your Windows desktop computer if you have Windows 10. You can start new conversations, open old messages, and make phone calls and video calls.

The desktop version of Messenger is a lot like the web version in that you can search through your messages and share things like GIFs, images, documents, Emoji, stickers, videos, and other files. However, you can’t play Facebook games, create reminders, or send money like you can through Messenger.com.

A second Messenger app for Windows is much more like the web version but can be installed on your computer or run as a portable program. It supports themes, can hide “seen” messages, can suppress the typing indicator, supports sending money, and lets you view archived threads and see message requests.

Regardless of your OS, you can use Messenger in its full form through Messenger.com, which is the official website for Facebook Messenger. To use Messenger on your mobile device, install the Android or iOS app.
