If you are a frequent user of Facebook chat then you may want to take a look at Facebook Messenger app that has gone live in BlackBerry App World. The official app allows you to chat to your Facebook friends on the go.
Facebook Messenger app features include:
- Message a friend or start a group conversation
- Reach friends on mobile or web
- Get push notifications
- Know who's seen your messages
- Attach photos to messages
The Facebook Messenger app has been available for a while via the Facebook site directly but now it is available through App World.

This has been in appworld for over a year. Just saying.
sk8er_tor Sep 26, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Agreed. I've seen Facebook Messenger in App World a while back.

does it also load your contacts to Facebook if you are not carefully/or even then?
Very critical in my opinion.
CarFan Sep 26, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Yep, I had it a while back too. It disappeared for some reason just recently. Couldn't find it after I did an OS update for my 9930 a few weeks ago. Glad it's back.

I never knew it was in app world. Thx!
MaxPayne79 Sep 26, 2012 at 1:23 pm
What's the point of this app when all my facebook chats come to me via direct messages?
davehong Sep 26, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Glad it made it back to App World!
adamschuetze Sep 26, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Is this the same functionality as the Chat feature in the Facebook app?
Gees97 Sep 26, 2012 at 3:49 pm
This is a waste of memory for my 9930
Bobcat665 Sep 26, 2012 at 6:10 pm
To anyone who thinks that this app is a complete waste and utterly redundant: There is at least ONE key bit of functionality this app has that the native BB app doesn't: YOU CAN SEND AND VIEW PHOTOS WITH IT.... it's not possible with the other app...

My pet peeve about fb chat is that it will not stay connected.
wickednoize Sep 27, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Photo sharing with the messenger is awesome! +1 for this app.

Not sure if anyone will have the answer to this, but the older versions of Facebook MEssenger had a persistant connection, so it could give you "push" noitifications even without BIS, now I'm wondering, because that isn't an option anymore, do you still get a persistant connection on the new app, because I can't get BIS for another 2 months so need this persistant connection.
