Where's the section on user response and reviews? This is a controversial forced change for mobile users, and not mentioning the controversy is akin to white-washing critical responses. 126.210.149.223 ( talk) 12:17, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
When the Facebook Messenger app came out, many were hesitant to get it. Many privacy issues came up regarding the different permissions needed to get the app. After a while, the media hype about the privacy issue died down and more people decided to get the app and use it.

Why does this page belong to the category "XMPP clients", while there is no mention of XMPP in the article? Either the relation between Facebook Messenger and XMPP should be clarified, or the page should not belong to that category. Vurp0 ( talk) 22:53, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
I think this version of the Features section has too many subsection headers dividing up its content. Giving a dedicated subsection to each and every little feature in the app clutters the article and inhibits the flow of the prose. I tagged this as something that needed to be fixed on July 3. Nothing has improved since then, so I thought I would do something about it myself. I think moving the individual features into a table and summarising the most important contents of the table with one or two paragraphs is the best way to go forward. I also think that the lede gives undue weight to things that are of importance only to a small population of fans ( WP:CRUFT): Most of the information in the Features section is sourced with technology blogs such as The Verge, TechCrunch, Engadget and Android Police instead of mainstream news outlets. The two paragraphs that summarise the Features section would work well as the paragraphs that summarise the contents of the proposed features table. A more concise summary can then be added to the lede, mentioning features that are relevant to a more general audience.
I have already done most of the work. However, this was reverted by User:LocalNet with the summary: "Sorry, but I honestly don't see this as an improvement. Wikipedia prefers prose, this moves way too much out of the lead, I don't think tables are meant for this, and this means all the regular text in "Features" is unsourced." I had not added a short summary of Facebook Messenger's features to the lede, but I did suggest in my edit summary that this could be done later if necessary. I also hadn't added inline citations to the text that I moved down from the lede, because I didn't think that the text was unsourced: all of the sources were in the table. As for tables not being meant for this, I think that's debatable. As a reader, I would certainly appreciate the ability to quickly read through a lede section, and if I were interested in learning more about the app's features, have a section with a summary and a table consisting of three (or more) columns and 15 rows instead of a section with no introduction and fifteen subsections, most of which only contain one to three sentences. A table would allow us to easily display data such as when a certain feature was introduced and if it is limited to a specific platform or region.
I have now moved the contents in the Features section back into a table and moved the two summarising paragraphs down from the lede a second time, this time replacing them with a short summary of Facebook Messenger's features and adding inline citations to the text that I moved to the Features section. I also added Platforms and Availability columns to the features table. -- Dodi 8238 ( talk) 19:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

In all the social media websites, or the websites in which there is login, we must added proper description that how a user can login. like in some social media there is only login by phone number or in some email is only login or in some any of both are valid. There must be Login Type added in Infobox Software. Examples
Login Type - Only by Phone Number Login Type - Only by Email address(or Username) Login Type - Phone Number or Email address(or Username)(Any) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niharpatel123456 ( talk • contribs) 19:06, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Facebook just calls it Messenger. Should it be renamed to Messenger (perhaps disambiguated with parenthesis)? Or are we refusing to let them make this trademark grab? :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.233.218.98 ( talk) 21:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Anybody ever have such a terrible bacholer party that it ruined your life and was the reason you did not get married? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:300B:6C8:4000:7C16:BD26:FFF8:B357 ( talk) 01:08, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
MrOllie Please check why you reverted my edits. [3] It was supported by this news [4] Salona Choudhury ( talk) 17:00, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
The article is very short and it primarily discuss Facebook Messenger. Therefore, it be merged into the Facebook Messenger article. TheBirdsShedTears ( talk) 03:54, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Facebook actually used to have until a certain point two types of messages, it had an inbox and the chat, and they were merged at some point. The chats weren't saved, they were with online users, and I think they didn't migrate this data into the merged interface, which is unfortunate, although they probably has these logs. The inbox was used for offline messages, you had a section for messages, and you could choose several recipients and a subject for the message. Now, luckily, the Messenger is more of a IM. Does anybody know when exacly they did it? Galzigler ( talk) 15:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
According to Kopete and Category:XMPP Clients, Messenger once supported XMPP. We should add info about when they supported it, when they stopped, their stated reason for stopping, and whether they still use non-federated XMPP internally like Hangouts did.
