Messenger je komunikační platforma od společnosti Meta Platforms. Původně vznikla jako Facebook Chat v roce 2008. V roce 2010 začal Facebook s předěláváním této platformy a v roce 2011 vydali mobilní aplikace pro iOS a Android. V roce 2015 Facebook spustil webové rozhraní pro Messenger, oddělené od hlavní aplikace Facebook.
Messenger umožňuje uživatelům mimo jiné posílání textových a hlasových zpráv, obrázků, videí. Kromě toho mohou uživatelé pořádat i videohovory, vytvářet skupinové konverzace a nově existuje integrace i s Instagramem.
V roce 2016 přesáhl Messenger milník 1 miliardy uživatel, současný počet uživatelů ale není veřejně známý.
