In 2019, at the F8 developer conference, Facebook announced
that it is going to introduce a desktop application for Messenger. Now, in less than a year, the firm is rolling a Mac App
for the messaging platform. It is already available in various non-US markets.
A spokesperson has advanced that it is not confirmed whether
this system will be available in the US since it is still in the testing stage.
It is not yet “a full launch” and they do not have an approximate release date
for it either. The firm is still gathering feedback from its users. Currently,
customers in France, Mexico, Poland, Australia and a few other regions can
access this new application. The full list of countries can be found on the
company’s website.
What does the Mac
desktop version offer? The features are similar to those that smartphone
users can enjoy. Besides texting, the app even includes support for voice and video
chat. You can also communicate with groups of people, share files, use
emojis and enable dark mode.
The Mac
desktop app has been built using Electron which is a popular way of
designing applications for personal computers. However, it is not the most
secure option to do so.
Messenger
app is being tested on Mac desktop
