admin Facebook has introduced Messenger’s desktop app that aims to facilitate unlimited free group video calls.
Computers and desktops that work on Windows and Apple’s Mac operating system can be installed on the app that will connect to the mobile app.
Facebook reported in March that its messaging service on desktop browsers increased the number of users using audio and video calls by 100 percent. This new desktop app will make it easier to make audio and video calls with friends and relatives since you won’t have to bother finding tabs in the browser.
Various companies like Zoom and Slack are also working to improve the video chat service. Zoom has promised users that it is reviewing security reviews, while Slick made the Microsoft Teams video call option part of its service.
Facebook Messenger is working with governments around the world to curb rumors about the Coronavirus. An information hub has been introduced to facilitate chatbots for this purpose.
This information hub also aims to prevent the spread of false information online. The messenger statement said that the center will provide users with resources to help them connect with their friends, family, office colleagues, students, teachers, and others during the home quarantine.

Messenger has also decided to reduce the number of forwarded messages to prevent rumors and misinformation about the Coronavirus from spreading. A feature is being worked on under which the user will not be able to send a message to more than 5 people, making it difficult to spread rumors.
This feature is not currently introduced but Facebook has confirmed that it is being tested inside the company.
