Messenger, meanwhile, has 600,000,000 as of March. WhatsApp, acquired early last year for $19 billion, boasts 800,000,000 monthly active users as of this past April. In fact, the only weirdness, if you can even call it that, of the separation is that Facebook already has a messenger app in its stable. And when you sign up for Messenger with your phone number, you can easily sync your phone’s contacts, making that advantage somewhat moot. Its trajectory indicates that Facebook wants to position Messenger as your default chat app by sheer force of features.Īside from the ease of access to your built-in Facebook contact list, though, those advantages seemingly apply to Messenger as well, especially now that it lives in the browser at. Messenger added video calls in April, and its first game-familiar to fans of Draw Something-just a few weeks ago. The following week, at Facebook’s F8 developers conference, over 40 apps for Messenger were announced. That’s the month Messenger introduced a payments feature. It was just this past March, after all, that Messenger was elevated from app to full-fledged platform. It’s that same mutual reliance, though, that could at least in some small way limit Messenger’s potential growth, something in which Facebook is demonstrably invested. If you want to reach your Facebook friends, Messenger is where you find them. The move might seem surprising Facebook and Messenger are two enormously popular experiences that have traditionally been symbiotic. Now, the final cleaving: As of today, you no longer need a Facebook account to sign up for Messenger at all. Next, it gave Messenger its own home on the web. First, Facebook kicked Messenger out of its main app.
