The update brings Facebook Messenger to version 139.1213.34847.0. Here are the list of changes and fixes:

  • Improved search bar (now the text is aligned in the Center)
  • The home is now divided in “messages” and “Active”. In this new section you will find your friends on Messenger
  • The emoticons are now displayed at the bottom (removed the old pop-up menu in the chat)
  • Renewed “location” feature: you can now view the map in full screen
  • Photos, videos and emoji is now called “photos and media”: Removed this section all options emoji
  • Miscellaneous improvements and fixes

This update comes after over about a month of testing the Facebook Messenger beta app.
