Many social media platforms have come and gone but Facebook remains the most widely used one of them with more than 3 billion active users in the second quarter of 2023. Why? Because it has been the most effective in helping us stay connected with our friends and family.

However, it got even better at fulfilling its purpose when Facebook Messenger was launched in 2011 – an all-in-one communication app. Its success can be estimated from the fact that 5 billion downloads of this app have happened using the Google Play Store alone, making it one of the most downloaded apps.

結論

Messenger is great if you want to connect with the world without sharing your phone number (unlike WhatsApp). So, try it if you are one of the few people who haven’t used it yet. Privacy concerns do remain but even WhatsApp is part of Facebook. So, one way or another, you may be under its surveillance.
