Facebook Messenger was being testing before is now available for Windows 7 users. Facebook Messenger is an application which gives you a flexible access to your Facebook account chat, notifications, requests etc. No need to open browser it can access all your account’s information and alerts right to your desktop. So no need to keep open your browser who consumes CPU Ram and processes. Its a small applications for Facebook lovers.
Features of Facebook Messenger
- Notifications, Friend Requests, Messages
- Recent updates i.e. Ticker
- List of friends which can be searched
- Updates are read only so if you wan to interact, you need to go to Facebook for doing it
- Tabbed chat windows
- Can Fix you messenger at right side of windows i.e. Dock to side
- Chat sounds also
- Desktop Notifications
However its not meant for extra activity like games, uploading, status updates, Friends news updates etc it stick to Facebook Messenger sticks to it’s goal to provide connections to your Facebook friends like a Messenger otherwise your Facebook account is there on browser. Also Video calling feature is not built in. So you have to put on your browser to do that although its great to have chatting and get notified right on your desktop.
When using multiple Facebook accounts, even in incognito modes, which shouldn’t effect other programs as it is isolated but Facebook for windows grabs the session cookie and login as the last person logged in for me I was last logged in from my other account.
