How To Download And Install Facebook Messenger For MacBooks?

It is now possible to download Facebook Messenger for Mac. And it is not a painful process but a very seamless one.

You already know what Facebook is all about. It is basically a site that lets registered users create profiles, upload pictures and clips, send messages and relate with friends, family, and colleagues.

The website can be enjoyed in more than forty different languages and comes with several features like:

  1. Marketplace: This lets members post, read and share a response to classified ads.
  2. Groups: This lets members with one interest locate themselves and interact.
  3. Events: This lets members publicize an event, invite guests and monitor who intends to attend.
  4. Pages: This lets members create and promote a public page built around a particular topic.
  5. Presence Technology: This lets members view which contacts are online and chat.
