Set up groups of family and friends with the latest update to Facebook Messenger for iOS

The iOS version of Facebook Messenger has received an update that allows you to set up groups that include the people you message the most. You can name these groups, give them a group photo and have all of your chatty friends and family members in one place. The update also allows you to forward a message or photograph to someone who isn't part of a group chat.

The update to Facebook Messenger also makes the app faster and more reliable. Most likely it includes the proverbial bug fixes and performance enhancements. Are you a Facebook Messenger user with an iOS powered device? You are? Well then, head over to the App Store where version 4.0 of Facebook Messenger awaits you.
