Windows Phone users would finally be able to have a dedicated Facebook Messenger app on their device as promised by Microsoft.

The smartphone does have a built-in Facebook messaging feature, but a dedicated app provides other features like group chat, stickers, and picture messaging.

According to The Verge, Windows Phone is the last to receive the app, which had been made available to iOS and Android platforms long ago.

The dedicated app also allows for location sharing and easy managing of contacts on the service.

The report said that the dedicated Facebook Messenger arrives just ahead of a key Windows Phone 8.1 update planned for early April release.
