Whether you're reconnecting with old friends or discovering Messenger for the first time, every conversation feels personal again. Features • 🟢 Real online presence — see who's actually online. • ⚡ Wizz — shake your friend's window to get their attention. • 👊 Knock — knock before you chat. • 🎵 Music Status — share what you're listening to. • 💬 Beautiful Messenger-style conversations. • 📞 Crystal-clear voice calls. • 🎥 Video calls. • 🎮 Built-in multiplayer games. • 👥 Group chats. • 📱 Available on Web, iPhone and Android.

Why we're launching this

From the team
I built Messenger Classic because I missed when the internet felt personal. Before endless feeds, algorithms, and follower counts, there was Messenger. This isn't about recreating the past pixel for pixel. It's about bringing back that feeling with modern technology. I hope it reminds some people of great memories.
