Facebook’s Big Move: Voice & Video Calls Now In The App!
What’s Happening?
Facebook has decided to let a bunch of its users try out voice and video calls right inside the main app—no Messenger download required. It’s like giving people a super‑power, but in the same app they’ve been scrolling through.
Why It Matters
- Less App Fatigue: No more hopping between Facebook and Messenger.
- Instant Connectivity: Call a friend on Facebook and then switch to Instagram to keep the convos flowing.
- Trial, Not a Final Deal: They’re beta‑testing it, so expect some hiccups and updates.
What’s Been Done So Far
Months ago, Facebook dug out Messenger from the main app, making it a separate download. This move was a bit of a hassle—feels like the internet’s version of “forget-shoebox” all the time.
Last September, they added a neat feature that let people on Instagram and Messenger find and video‑call each other without having both apps. Now, they’re taking that dream one step further by rolling it all into the core Facebook app.

Official Word
A Facebook spokesperson said, “If you want the full‑featured, smoothest, fancy‑napkin experience for messaging, audio, and video calls, you’re best to stick with Messenger.”
Bottom Line (Cue the Laugh)
So, for the time being, channel your inner social butterfly—step into Facebook, try the new call feature, and maybe store a backup phone call plan in case the new feature decides to bail. In the end, who knows? The social media giant might just turn the app into a “Hey, let’s clip together in one place” reality. Try it out and tell us if it’s as smooth as a latte or still more like a burnt espresso.
