    As I was saying earlier, one of the benefits of this application is that it does allow you to chat with other people who are using Facebook
    .
    If you have a Mom, or a Grandma or anyone who is still using Facebook, that hasn't migrated to a more modern system, such as "WhatsApp", which you can what our video on How to install "WhatsApp" on you Android Phone as well. Or another platform is "Tumbler", you can watch our video on "Tumbler". "Google Plus" you can watch our video on "Google Plus" and you can even watch our video on "Facebook". At any rate, it is done downloading, and installing messenger. Messenger has successfully been installed.
