Facebook Rolls Out Windows 10 Apps with Exciting Features

Later this year, Facebook will roll out its new apps for Windows 10, including Facebook and Messenger, as well as Instagram for Mobile devices. These updates come with a range of exciting features that enhance user experience on the platform.

For those who have been using the Windows 8 app, they can continue to use it or upgrade to the latest version by completing a free update to Windows 10. The older Facebook Windows 8 listing in the Windows Store will be replaced with the new Facebook Windows 10 app, featuring a new logo.

Facebook and Messenger for Windows 10 will be available later today in the Desktop App Store, while Instagram for Windows 10 Mobile will be available in the Windows Phone Store. The Instagram app comes with all of its core features, including Instagram Direct, Explore, and video capabilities.

One of the standout features of Facebook's new Windows 10 apps is the use of Live Tiles, which allows users to see updates right on their home screen. Additionally, Messenger for Windows has native desktop notifications that enhance user experience and make it easier to stay connected with friends and family.

The Facebook app also comes with a range of exciting new features, including Reactions, stickers in comments, and a right-hand column that shows birthday reminders, trending topics, and more. Users can easily share photos straight from their favorite apps or File Explorer, and stay up-to-date with desktop notifications and pin a Live Tile to keep track of the latest updates.

The Windows 10 Facebook app is designed to be fast and easy to access favorite features, loading quickly and easily within Windows and featuring the most up-to-date features. With many users already using Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram on Windows devices, this update is sure to enhance user experience and provide a seamless transition between desktop and mobile platforms.
