Facebook has introduced Messenger's latest expression tool called Soundmojis, allowing users to express themselves in conversations better. According to Facebook, it is a next-level emoji that lets users send short sound clips in the Messenger chat. To check out Soundmojis, head to your Messenger app, start a chat, tap the smiley face to open the expressions menu and select the loudspeaker icon. The Messenger desktop app is set to be shut down for Windows and Mac users on December 15, 2025. Users will no longer be able to log into the apps and will be redirected to Facebook for Messenger access. As for Windows users, users are encouraged to use the web version or Facebook desktop app. The messaging apps’ removal has left users wondering, since platforms from Meta like Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram are still accessible.
