Facebook Messenger app will be delivered with a completely new user interface unique to Windows Phone.
Microsoft revealed at a press event ahead of Mobile World Congress that Facebook Messenger will be arriving on Windows Phone in the next few weeks.
Microsoft Vice President and Manager for Windows Phone, Joe Belfiore, was speaking at a press event in Barcelona ahead of Mobile World Congress when he confirmed its arrival.
“We’ve been working with Facebook testing out their implementation for a while,” Belfiore said. ”It’s looking good and we will have it for our customers soon.”
The Facebook Messenger app will be delivered with a completely new user interface that’s unique to Windows Phone.
It will be separate from the main Facebook app and will work independently.
Last year, Windows Phone vendors shipped 33.4 million devices globally, giving the operating system a market share of 3.3 percent.
That's up from Windows Phone's share of 2.4 percent in 2012, and marks a near doubling of the growth rate for the overall smartphone market.
Although Windows Phone is looking to further expand its app market as still sits behind iPhone and Android phone sales.
“There’s a number of more great apps coming soon,” Belfiore added. “Stay tuned as you hear about more compelling demanded user apps coming for Windows Phone.”
There are now some 200,000+ apps on the Windows Phone store, according to Belfiore, with app downloads totalling 4 billion.
