We included the latest Facebook features in the new app, including Reactions, stickers in comments, and a right-hand column that shows birthday & event reminders, trending topics and more. It’s also easy to share photos to Facebook straight from your favorite apps or File Explorer. You can stay up-to-date with Facebook through desktop notifications, and you can pin a new Facebook Live Tile which shows you the latest updates from your friends, family and Pages you follow. Facebook is one click away from the Start Menu, and the app starts and loads your News Feed much faster than previous Facebook desktop applications. We built the new Windows 10 Facebook app so it’s fast and easy to access your favorite features. These new apps will load quickly and easily within Windows and have the most up-to-date features. There are many people using Facebook, Messenger and Instagram on Windows, so today we’re excited to rollout Windows 10 Apps for Facebook and Messenger on desktop and Instagram on mobile. Notably, the Facebook Messenger app for Windows Phone does not yet support voice or video calling.By Davis Fields, Product Manager, Facebook
The group calling feature, which allows you to make group calls with up to 50 people, was introduced to the Messenger app earlier this year. Users are asked to rate the quality of the calls after they end.Ĭurrently the group voice calls feature is working on the desktop version of the app but the group video calls are not working, reports Venture Beat. Venture Beat cites a Facebook spokesperson to report the feature started rolling earlier this month.Īs on the mobile versions of the app, users get the options like mute and video capture on the call screen of the desktop app.Īlso, they will get the option of sending a voicemail in case the other person isn't available to take up the call. Even though the desktop app does not allow users to set reminders or send message to the contact when a call is coming in, it does allow notifications for incoming calls. Similar to the Android and iOS version of the app, the call icon in the top right corner of your screen in the Windows 10 app during a chat glows green when the contact is currently active.
Even though users could earlier make voice/video calls from or the web version of Messenger as an alternative to the app, now they can make calls from within the app itself. Facebook's Messenger app on Windows 10 is being quietly updated and now allows you to place voice and video calls just like on Android and iOS version of the messaging platform.
