Messenger Pro: Facebook (Meta)

Posted by on

Messenger Pro is an Xposed Module that adds loads of features to Facebook Messenger

Meta’s Messenger is one of the most popular instant messaging apps in the world, riding on the sheer popularity of Facebook. The Messenger app does a lot of things right for it to gain this popularity, but it also has a few limitations that are intentionally placed. For example, the inability to use text formatting on the mobile client seems pretty odd. If you are looking to fix some of Messenger’s quirks and add a lot of features to the Android app, try out the Messenger Pro Xposed Module.

Messenger Pro by XDA Member Mino260806 is an Xposed Module that contains a variety of mods that adds and extends features to the official Messenger app. Notable functionalities of the module include support for common text formatting, the ability to attach any file, confirmation dialog before calling, and more.
