Facebook "Messenger" App Now Available for BlackBerry OS

Facebook new Messenger application has been chilling out on Android and iOS for a while, and now BlackBerry gets join the party. Android and iOS versions are also getting a bit of an update, so you can now see when someone else is typing, and you've got quicker access to your favourite friends. They also include wider language support, which is good news for our international friends.

Facebook Messenger was launched as a dedicated chat application entirely separate from the core social networking application. On iOS and Android, it pulled in SMS and e-mail too, so you could really handle all of your incoming messages from one spot. Location-sharing, picture-sending, and group chat made Facebook Messenger a full-bodied instant messaging client, and considering the ubiquity of the social network, it made other IM apps like BBM and GTalk seem almost extraneous.
