Microsoft had promised during Mobile World Congress, (MWC 2014) at Spain in Barcelona, last month that the Facebook Messenger app would soon be available on Windows Phone, and keeping its promise, the company on Wednesday announced the arrival of the app on Windows Phone. Facebook announced the news on Twitter.

By this Facebook Messenger app users can see who's online for a private or group chat, send a private message, pictures and stickers. They can also share their location as well.

     

According to The Verge, Windows Phone is the last to receive the app, which had been made available to iOS and Android platforms long ago.

Facebook friends are automatically added to the People Tab. Users can also import new contacts.

The report said that the dedicated Facebook Messenger arrives just ahead of a key Windows Phone 8.1 update planned for early April release.

    

Users can also get the 4 MB app from the Windows Phone Store.

The launch comes just days after Facebook shuttered its Messenger apps for Windows and Firefox.
