Meta announced the discontinuation of the standalone Facebook Messenger app for Windows and Mac, effective 2023-12-15.
Transition Details
Users will be redirected to the Facebook desktop app on Windows or to Facebook.com on Mac after the deprecation of the Messenger app. This follows Meta's strategy to streamline messaging services.
Chat History and Storage
While Messenger's core functionalities—messaging, calls, and media sharing—remain accessible via web and app, chat history is secure if users enable 'secure storage'. To activate it, navigate: Profile photo > Privacy & safety > End-to-end encrypted chats > Message storage.
- Change date: 2023-12-15
- Platforms affected: Windows, Mac
- Secure storage essential for history retention
- Redirection: Facebook.com (Mac), Facebook desktop (Windows)
