Even though the Facebook trend is slowly declining and people who owned it in the past are deleting their accounts on this social network, there are still some users who simply and simply need Facebook, i.e. its Messenger. I am one of these users, and despite the fact that Facebook brings practically nothing interesting to me, on the contrary, I deal with my daily work and communication with friends through Messenger. However, most of you probably know that Messenger on Facebook is hacked and often, when it has its day, it is practically not usable at all.
Even though there is a Messenger interface in the form of the website itself, this solution is not entirely suitable for me. In short and simply, the web interface in Safari often confused me with other open pages, and I often had a problem with notifications. For this reason, various substitutes in the form of applications that serve as clients for Messenger can come in handy. I have personally tried several of these clients, but I liked the one called Caprine the most. As one of the few clients it offers several features that can often come in handy. So it is definitely not an ordinary client that has simply been "converted" from a web interface to an application in which you will not find any additional features or options for customization.
The best features of the Caprine client include, for example, the option to hide the notification of reading or delivering a message for the other party, along with blocking the display of the message writing animation. There is also an option to set the style of emoticons, or the option to switch to the work chat from Messenger. Within Caprine, everything works as it should - whether it's playing videos, or simply sending attachments using a catch-and-drop method. It should be noted that, unlike the interface on Facebook or other clients, Caprine does not crash, does not crash and does not show any problems. The main reason for this is the regular updates, which are certainly not a matter of course for other clients. In addition, you don't have to pay a penny for Caprine - everything is available for free and without the slightest restrictions. From my own experience, I can only recommend the Caprine client for Messenger.
Thanks for the tip. It looks good. Unfortunately, I'm used to using the shortcuts set in the system for smileys. And here, when I use it, the smiley is added after the text, but the text remains there. Because of that it is then unusable for me. Shame?
Hello, I installed it, but I keep getting a message that APPLE can't check the software. So not working yet. Can you advise? Thanks.
It helped me to click "right" and let open.
Right click and select Open as Honza writes.
Shouldn't there be an official mac client by now?
Yes, there should be an official client coming out, but for now it's not sure when.
It has been available for download on the French store for several weeks. I use.
Hello, may I ask how you managed to download Messenger for macOS from the French App Store? Thank you for the info.
How about an "All-in-One Messenger": https://allinone.im
I find it functionally much, much better - anyone using it?
Caprine was fine. But only until it started falling and getting stuck.
