Facebook Messenger 299.0.0.11.115 Update is Now Live with Performance and User-Experience Improvements

When it comes to chatting features and cross-platform support, there is no other app that does it better than Facebook Messenger. The app was originally integrated into the social media platform, similar to Instagram’s Direct Messages, but now it is developed as a standalone chatting app. The great thing about this is that Messenger benefits from full-fledged developer support and therefore, it is updated regularly with improvements. In fact, a new software release has just arrived.

Facebook Messenger 299.0.0.11.115 Update

The latest update for Facebook Messenger sports the 299.0.0.11.115 version number and it is rolling out via official OTA (over the air) channels. This means that all fans of the app who are keeping their smartphones connected to Wi-Fi are eligible to access the update right away. In case the update doesn’t start downloading automatically, Messenger fans can always manually trigger from Google Play Store.

What’s New?

The new update for Facebook Messenger aims to improve the overall performances of the chatting app. The way that the update does that is by introducing a handful of “under the hood” software tweaks and bug fixes. While software tweaks might not be as impressive as new features, we are assuring everyone that they are more important.
