iPad finally gets Facebook Messenger

It took Facebook a while but now iPad users are getting the standalone Messenger app. You can now use the iPad to shoot silly videos to send to your friends and save these on the device’s Camera Roll; send free texts and calls; as well as share photos and voice messages. It might even be easier to use the app on the larger screen. You can download Facebook Messenger here.
