Windows 10: Facebook’s new Messenger app for Windows 10 leaks online

Facebook Messenger, which is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world, will get a new app for Windows 10. Facebook plans to offer the new desktop client via its own website and as well as the Microsoft Store, so you can access all of your messages from your Windows 10 device.

According to Facebook, the Messenger desktop app will be released at some point this year. Ahead of its release, a leak has revealed what we can expect from Facebook’s new app for Microsoft’s platform.

The current Facebook Messenger app for Windows 10 has quality issues and several key features are missing. With the new app, Facebook hopes to address the problems and offer a better messaging experience. For example, the rewritten Messenger app brings support for the dark, grey theme and as well as the ability to permanently delete delivered messages.



You can also send files or enter full-screen mode to read the conversations, view the pictures and videos. It comes with other features that are available on Android and iOS including the ability to hide chats and new emoticons.

It’s worth noting that the interface has largely remained unchanged and the app looks similar to the current Windows 10 app. However, the app is now powered by Electron and it offers much better performance when compared to the current app.



Electron is developed to work across multiple platforms, so you can expect the app to remain updated regularly.

Hands-on with the Facebook Messenger (beta) app for Windows 10


While Facebook first announced at Microsoft’s Windows 10 Devices event in October that it was working on Universal Windows 10 apps for Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, the social network has yet to deliver all the goodies to all enthusiast Windows 10 fans. Last month, we obtained some leaked images of the new Facebook Messenger app for Windows 10, which is still in closed beta, but today we were able to download and install the app without being in the beta. Others have not been able to access it yet, however.

We were able to successfully download the app on one of our Windows 10 PCs and we just spent some time playing with it. Long story short, it feels very much like the Instagram beta app on Windows 10 Mobile which is nothing more than an iOS port. In our brief testing with the Facebook Messenger app on Windows 10, we saw that the app uses an adaptable layout and all the features (including notifications) worked reliably. It seems that the only big feature missing here but available on the iOS and Android apps are voice and video calls. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good experience overall. Please find the detailed features of the app along some screenshots below:

◾Get notifications so you never miss a message
◾See when you have messages waiting for you with a live tile
◾Send photos, videos, GIFs and more
◾Bring your conversations to life with stickers
◾Know when people have seen your messages
◾Create groups for the people you message most—name them and set group photos
◾Forward messages or photos to people who weren’t in the conversation
◾Search for people and groups to quickly get back to them
