Facebook chat messenger is a program that has changed the way people communicate with one another. For some, Facebook messenger is the only way they can talk with one another when they are far apart. The program also allows people to see which of their friends are online. Downloading this program onto your computer can help you stay connected to all of your close friends.
#1: The Pros Of The Program
- You get to see the online status of all your friends when you are chatting on the messenger. It is good to know who is online, who is not, and who is connected on their mobile device. This functionality mirrors the website experience.
- The messenger works just like the messenger on the website. You can see when people are typing and when people have read your messages. It helps to know when people have read your messages during a long conversation.
- This program allows you to talk to your friends without leaving the Facebook website open on your computer.
#2: The Cons Of The Program
- Many people like to have the Facebook news feed next to the messenger. However, this program only contains functionality for the messenger, so you can't read your news feed and chat at the same time.
- This program may not update as fast as the website. Messages may be delayed if you have a slow connection.
- Because this program will run in the background, you may not realize that you are still connected when you stop chatting. This can be disruptive to your work or create unwanted distractions.
The bottom line is that Facebook messenger may be a great way to connect with your friends. But you need to make sure the program is going to give you the functionality you need.
