Facebook Messenger was launched in 2011 by Facebook as a standalone app to enhance the messaging experience separate from the main Facebook app. It evolved from Facebook Chat, which was introduced in 2008, to provide more robust communication features like voice and video calls, group messaging, and integration with various services. The aim was to offer a comprehensive communication platform beyond just text messaging within Facebook's ecosystem.
