Facebook quietly rolled out Messenger for Windows, announcing the debut of the trial app — which allows users to exchange Facebook messages without being logged into the social network — on its help center.

Messenger for Windows is not yet available for downloading by the general public, as Facebook said in its help center:

We’re testing out a first version of the app with a small group of people. During this trial period, we plan on rolling out changes to the app and expect outages and periods of instability as we make improvements.

Note: Messenger for Windows will automatically install updates.
