Facebook may be developing an official Messenger desktop app for Mac, according to. The technology website obtained a blurry photo that allegedly shows a Facebook employee using the Messenger client on Mac, which would be easily accessible from the OS X dock as opposed to a tab in a web browser.
Leaked photo of claimed Facebook Messenger for Mac app (Image: TechCrunch) Messenger for Mac appears to have a navigation tab bar in the bottom left with options matching the Messenger for iOS mobile app, including Recent, Groups, People and Settings. These menu options are reportedly not found in unofficial Messenger apps, making it more likely the app is not a third-party version. The company's goal is likely to create a standalone Messenger experience on Mac, similar to how it released a dedicated Messenger app for iOS in August 2011. But unlike when Messenger was on iOS in July 2014, the web version of the chat platform may remain available alongside the desktop app. It’s unclear but seemingly unlikely that Facebook would require users to chat via the desktop software instead of the website.

Ugh, it stinks that they started disallowing Jabber clients to connect. Last year, I used to be able to contact all my Facebook friends (aka most people I know) just through Messages, plus people on iMessage, SMS, and AIM.
It was perfect! I wish Apple would update Messages to support whatever proprietary protocol Facebook uses because I really don't want to have to run multiple messaging apps. EddiOS42 has the right idea. They probably did it so they can get people to use their own stuff.
