FAQ
Can I use Messenger without a Facebook account?
No — a Facebook account is required to log in; Meta removed phone-number-only sign-up. Creating one is free and takes a minute, and you never have to post or scroll the Facebook feed: many people keep an empty profile purely so Messenger works for their chats and calls.
Are Messenger calls free, even internationally?
Yes — voice and video calls to other Messenger users are free wherever both of you are, since they travel over the internet rather than the phone network. You spend only mobile data or Wi-Fi, which makes it a common choice for international family calls. Messenger cannot call regular phone numbers.
Is the Messenger APK safe to install?
Yes. We mirror the official Meta build and publish its SHA-256 checksum and a VirusTotal scan on this page, so you can verify the file is untouched before installing.
What is the Messenger package name?
The Android application ID is com.facebook.orca. Check it after installing (Settings → Apps) to confirm you got the genuine app.
