Facebook's "Messenger" is a new mobile app that simplifies how messaging works, and gives users a faster way to message friends and small groups.
It also is one more example of the ways applications are starting to offer easier messaging services that mimic, or, some would argue, improve on text messaging.
Messenger is a separate app, so it only takes one click to get to your messages or send a new one, Facebook says. Messages are delivered through notifications and texts, so your friends are more likely to get them right away.
Messenger also can be used to reach all of a user's friends, whether they're on Facebook or in phone contacts. All the user has to do is type the person's name in the app.
The Messenger app is an extension of Facebook messages, so all your conversations are in one place, including your texts, chats, emails and messages. Whether you're on your phone or on the web, you can see the full history of all your messages.
Messenger is available for both iPhone and Android, in each ecosystem's app store. Just search for "Facebook Messenger."
