> For most people Facebook messenger was late to the party and doesn't have any real draw. Facebook Messenger has been around since the launch of Facebook. I've personally been using it over 7 years in various forms. WhatsApp is the one that was late to the party. > On the other hand it works well on pretty much every phone out there. Of course it does, because it has no features. You can't send money with it, you can't send stickers or GIFs, you have to physically open the app to send a message, it doesn't have link previews, and so on and so forth. |

And it was a crap experience on mobile until it was pulled out of Facebook into its own app.
> Of course it does, because it has no features.
It has the most important features for good individual and group chat.
> you can't send stickers or GIFs
That's a feature.
> you have to physically open the app to send a message
I'm not sure what that means. I have to open the FB Messenger app too? Maybe it's different on android.
> it doesn't have link previews
Again another point in whatsapps favor. I hate link previews in FB Messenger.
> You can't send money with it
Not really much of a feature because of all the setup involved. It's got potential and if it could tie in with the host operating system or payment providers etc on mobile it could be really great.
