Made more accessible

Messenger for Desktop is a program that allows you to use and access Messenger anytime. This software proves to be incredibly useful especially since it saves you time from having to open your browser and visit the page just to check your messages. Messenger for Desktop functions just as well as the original web-based version but is doubtlessly more convenient and efficient to use. 

Practical and productive

Constantly having to switch between tabs and windows undeniably takes away precious seconds from our time, not to mention that it demands a little bit of effort, Messenger for Desktop is made for you to skip all the steps you usually would take just to access the chat platform. Installing the software on your computer gives you an ever-present window that is separate from your browser. You can open as many tabs as you want and work more smoothly without having to navigate back on the tab where your Facebook Messenger is open. If you are worried about having a downgraded version of the chat platform, we assure you that you will actually still be able to enjoy the same features and functions that are available in the original Messenger. Users can still enable or disable receiving desktop notifications, send chat messages to a person or a group, and make audio and video calls. Messenger for Desktop also has a neat and organized interface that stays true to its goal to make Facebook Messenger accessible without disrupting your browsing sessions and workflow. 

Enjoy chat messaging

Messenger for Desktop provides a convenient way for you to stay in touch with your Facebook friends without compromising your workflow. You can send messages or conduct calls without having to exit or minimize other tabs or pages. Its interface is also user-friendly that even those who are not that familiar with Messenger can use the software without any assistance needed.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
