Facebook's F8 developer conference made it clear that the Messenger app is going to be the company's golden boy. The latest trick Messenger has been taught is the ability to make conference calls possible between 50 members.

The new feature, Group Calling uses the familiar voice call feature to connect more than two people. You can arrange a voice call with up to 50 participants with the latest version of the app.

The feature is being released on iOS and Android first, according to a David Marcus, who's leading Messenger at Facebook.
