Use the Facebook Messenger for your phone in an easier way

The days when we basically communicated by calling or sending messages are long gone. What'sApp has changed that and another important ingredient has been Facebook Messenger, which has made easier to keep contact with out friends without paying anything.

It's perfectly possible to use the Facebook app and send messages, but Facebook has created a unique app with only that feature: sending messages and creating group messages for multiple friends. The design is exactly the same as facebook's: clean, white and blue! It also works smooth and its usability is excellent.

As extra options: you can set alerts on and off (for 1 hour or until 8.00) and see the map location. The developer is of course, Facebook, and this is a really useful app for those who are addicted to talking to their friends 24/7. One note, we miss the possibility of chatting, as it's not the same as sending messages.

Developer's original description available here
Text your friends for free. Get Facebook Messenger to instantly reach friends on their smart phones, feature phones or desktop computers.

Chat heads bring your messages and texts front and center*
- Keep chatting, even while you're using other apps

Bring conversations to life
- Send voice messages when you have more to say
- Add a photo to share what you're up to
- Have fun with stickers*, smileys and other emoji

Make plans on the go.
- Message a friend or start a group conversation
- Include your location to let friends know you're nearby

Messenger does all this using your existing data plan.

*These features will be available to everyone soon.

    I keep getting the "Something went wrong. Please try again." error with my account. Internet works fine, Facebook app works great. This app just almost never seems to connect.
