Facebook makes a Standalone Messenger Site for Web.


Facebook launched a new website named Messenger which will just be handling the Message part of Facebook, and hence its just a separate app for web for chat via FB. Messenger.com has the UI similar to the Messenger app. On the left hand side is a list of all your ongoing discussions, while actual message threads are displayed on the right. Users can send 
  • pictures
  • stickers
  • thumbs up[similar to the Messenger app]

However, the web app lacks some features 
  • ability to record and send audio messages
  • send a photo from your web cam
In 2014, Facebook pulled messaging from the Facebook’s mobile app and moved it into the standalone Messenger app. Last month, Facebook launched an initiative called Messenger Platform, which allows developers to build apps specifically for Messenger
