Microsoft slips that a Facebook Messenger app "just weeks away"

4.2
Microsoft confirmed today at their Mobile World Congress press conference that they will be adding a version of Facebook Messenger to their phone ecosystem, Windows Phone OS.

The Windows Phone leader, Joe Belfiore, announced that their version of a Facebook Messenger is just "weeks" away.

We’ve been working with Facebook testing out their implementation for a while. It’s looking good and we will have it for our customers soon.Joe Belfiore


Microsoft has been developing the official Facebook application for their mobile platform using a internal team for some time. Back in April 2013 they launched a Facebook Windows Phone beta program, it allowed anyone and everyone to download early versions of the app before it was rolled into the actual release build. It is unknown at this time if they plan to do the same for this specific Facebook app. Belfiore told us today that the total number of downloads from their app store had exceeded 4 billion since it's launch and that they had "more compelling apps" down the pipeline.

The only good thing about the Windows Phones is the camera. That's what's advertised in all the adverts.
