Facebook Messenger is a fine website for talking with your friends, but it makes more sense as a mobile app than a dedicated desktop service.

Messages

Facebook Messenger for Web blows up chatting for the big screen.

Group Chats

Facebook Messenger for Web helps users manage their group chats.

Stickers and Pusheen

Stickers, including the adorable Pusheen the cat, appear in full force.

Missed Audio Calls

Although audio messages are gone, users can still do audio calls. But users have to log onto Facebook itself to make sure they can receive incoming calls.

Video Calls

Exclusive to the web version, users can connect to each via video chat.

Muting

Within the apps, users can only mute, not block, obnoxious "friends."
