About

Turn conversation into customer loyalty with Messenger. Messenger helps you simplify customer acquisition by providing a direct, conversational way for people to take action where they already spend their time. Building a presence on Messenger allows people to browse your products and services, and purchase them directly in the conversation. Building an experience on Messenger can help get your business, product or service in front of more people. Whether you’re launching a new product or driving awareness, conversation creates a meaningful connection with your business. Integrating Messenger into a customer service strategy allows customers to communicate with your business on their terms. No more waiting on hold or keeping website windows open. And the conversation stays in Messenger, an easily accessible spot for questions and re-engagement.

About

Session is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance. Session accounts are completely anonymous. No phone number or email required. Session doesn’t collect data, so there’s nothing to leak. Send messages through our onion routing network and leave no trace. Session’s code has nothing to hide. Anyone can view, audit, and contribute. With no central point of failure, it’s harder to shut Session down. Talk to your friends or talk to the world. You decide. Closed groups let you talk to up to 20 friends at once, with the same encrypted protection as one-on-one chats. Got a bigger crowd? Use an open group to connect with as many people as you want. Sometimes, a text just isn’t enough. Voice messages let you send something a little more personal, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really really love to use this messenger because you can communicate to your love ones. Super good and very nice. My family in the house really loves using this messenger.
  • Text, video or voice call from one interface. Group chat feature. Chat heads feature for pinning chat to mobile's home page. Great mobile app - available on all major OS. Audio/Video Recording feature. Lots of stickers and emojis.
  • (+) Easy to use and communicate with the help of the messenger. (+) The audio and video calling feature is really good. (+) Groups with a capacity of 250 can be set up. (+) Chatbot support is very good. (+) Stickers and gifs are supported.
  • I like that you can connect with almost anyone on Facebook through this app, and that it makes it easier by opening Facebook conversations in this separate app. I like that you can call people or video chat.
  • I'm a daily user of Facebook Messenger. I use this to keep up with friends and family and business associates. You can also send money super easily with Facebook Messenger.

Cons

  • What i don't like about this in messenger is if there's a bug.
  • Cannot attach or send files from mobile app. Too frequent updates use up lot of data bandwidth.
  • (-) Sometimes the messenger fails to alert the messages received. (-) The video quality in the calls is mostly good but sometimes it tends to drop. (-) One can always send a message on the Facebook app, it becomes redundant in such scenarios. (-) Takes a lot of battery.
  • It sometimes makes it hard to find messages that come from someone you are not connected with on the app, and only find them if you manually look.
  • Facebook Messenger has nothing I have found to dislike. Without Facebook I don't know what I'd do to keep in touch with family and friends.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I found session 2 years ago when it was just put out and was in love, no sign up or logs, top notch encryption and u can dump and create new accounts as quick and easy as pushing a button. Session is the future.
  • The range of features and the actual current demonstrated capabilities and omissions are grand. Open source is critically important and their protocol is based upon tried and true protocols from safe developers. It's a shame you can't trust their situation as an entity - as all of this can become irrelevant immediately in the blink of an eye under a number of plausible - likely, even - scenarios. This weakness must be addressed.
  • Free and open source. End-to-end encrypted messenger. Decentralized. Doesn't require phone number or email. No meta data tracking.
  • Decentralized. E2e encrypted. No email or number required. P2p v.soon. Faster than tor. Easy interface.

Cons

  • It was buggy, but they were working on it. I also noticed something, called sentinel? A file that someone was trying to send me, in the past I've ran into it and believe it's a form of spyware, probably just the person I was chatting with, but idk...
  • You won't find privacy from apps developed in Australia or by Australians. Period. This is very suspicious and what is secure today may be very quickly made insecure and revelatory retrospectively in one quick patch. Do not trust any company at the mercy of Australian lawmakers. Because even they have no say over the matter if push comes to shove.
  • Not really a con of the app but Session is not really popular.
  • Design is not so cool as compare to signal or others.
