Facebook Messenger is an app that stands on itself, it allows you to chat and send messages to all your Facebook friends without having to go through the Facebook app. It has come to my notice that in some countries, you can create a Messenger account without having a Facebook account.
You can access this app on your iPhone, Android phones, and Windows phones. You can also access Messenger through the official Messenger website on your computer. Besides chatting with friends, messenger allows you to make free voice and video calls, send and receive money, and chat with chatbots.
