Who uses Facebook Messenger on mobile or Facebook chat on the website, can take advantage of some programs and apps to keep Facebook chat on PC without having to open the Facebook site, so as to always stay connected with friends as you would with the smartphone.
These are very comfortable applications, not only to have a larger space in which to read and write, but also to be able to share photos and videos from the PC with friends, to make calls and video calls from the computer, to also be able to stay online all over the time you want and, at the same time, to really see who your friends are online, which is not possible on the site (you can only see some friends online, not all of them).
Here, then, the best Facebook Messenger clients for Windows 10 (which also work in Windows 7 ), ideal for sending, receiving and controlling Facebook chat messages .
1) Facebook Messenger client for Windows and Mac PC, which I have already discussed in another article, is a simple Facebook Messenger Desktop client for Windows, Mac and also for Linux.
The user interface is the same as the Facebook Messenger website, it can be used with a dark theme and allows you to send text messages, audio messages, videos, emojis, stickers, etc.
You can also use voice call and video call and you can read the history of all messages received and archived.
2) Caprine is an elegant program released in 2018 that allows you to chat on the Facebook Messenger without opening the site chat, finding all your friends online. Caprine is an open source Facebook Messenger client for Windows that loads faster than other programs. Special features include the dark theme mode and the use of custom styles, with some useful options such as the ability to silence notifications, block recipients from the read message and "I'm writing" indicators.
3) Franz is the program that combines Facebook, Whatsapp and other chats such as Slack, Skype, Telegram, etc. Obviously, for its ability to unify various chat services, it becomes very convenient for those who want to be online on PC, simultaneously, on all the apps as you would with a smartphone. Speaking of Franz as a Facebook Messenger client, it has among its functions the ability to check messages in various folders such as received, archived and unread, to be able to make voice calls and video calls.
4) If you do not want to install a program, but keep Chrome open practically always, you can install Facebook Messenger on Chrome to have the chat always at hand while browsing online and reading other sites that are not Facebook.
5) PidGin is a truly ancient OpenSource messaging software, but still maintained and updated.
Pidgin works as a centralized messaging system where different communication protections can be constantly added, which allow you to chat with Facebook, Discord, ICQ, Slack, Skype, Telegram, Steam, Whatsapp, WeChat, SMS, OK Cupid and others. The problem is that for each service the relevant Plugin must be installed, which can be downloaded from the Plugins links on the official website. Once Pidgin is configured, to start, simply add a new account and select Facebook as the communication protocol. With this " Facebook Chat " you can thus see who Facebook contacts are online, with their photo and status phrase and chat on Messenger with the old desktop windows. Another advantage of Facebook Chat with Pidgin (I don't know if it is still like this though) is that you don't have to log in to Facebook even to accept requests to add contacts, all Facebook notification messages will be treated as emails and integrated in Pidgin's interface, to be read and interacted with.
