 CHAT THEMES
 Choose from fun themes and colours, such as Tie-dye or Love, to make your chats more personal.

 WATCH TOGETHER
 Watch videos, tv programmes and films with your friends over Messenger video chat and Rooms when you can't be together. Capture every moment and reaction in real time.

 FREE* VIDEO CALLS TO STAY CONNECTED
 Keep your friends and family close with unlimited live video chatting. Host group video calls with up to eight people, with high-quality audio, high-definition video and interactive video features such as face filters.

 UNLIMITED FREE* TEXT AND PHONE CALLS
 Skip exchanging phone numbers and simply send a message to your Facebook friends, even if they're across the world. Enjoy high-quality voice and text messaging on mobile, tablet and desktop.

 TURN OFF THE LIGHTS IN DARK MODE
 Give your eyes some rest with a sleek new look that darkens the colours of the chat interface.

 RECORD AND SEND VOICE AND VIDEO MESSAGES
 When text just won't cut it, just hit record and send. Say, sing, show or shout it out loud.

 EXPRESS YOURSELF WITH STICKERS, GIFS AND EMOJIS
 Use custom stickers to show your creative side. You can even add effects and filters to video calls.

 SEND FILES, PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
 There's no limit to the number of files you want to share with your friends.

 Make plans to get together with polls and more. Suggest a meeting spot or tell friends where you are by sharing your location with just a few taps.

 SEND AND REQUEST MONEY WITH NO FEES
