Facebook, Messenger, Instagram Arrive on Windows 10

It's a sign that Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform strategy might just be working, as Facebook and other developers just have to build one app that can work across a variety of devices - that ultimately helps Windows 10 Mobile.

Facebook, Inc. operates as a mobile application and Website that enables people to connect, share, discover, and communicate each other on mobile devices and personal computers worldwide.

Thanks to its recent push into live video and the continued popularity of its mobile app, advertising revenue shot up 57%, to $5.2 billion, over the same period previous year. You can stay up-to-date with Facebook through desktop notifications, and you can pin a new Facebook Live Tile which shows you the latest updates from your friends, family and Pages you follow.

As for the new Windows 10 Messenger app, it offers features like stickers and GIFs to help you spice up your one-on-one and group chats. It will also support Live Tiles, showing updates right on the home screen. But Microsoft, Facebook's apparent new bestie, has its HoloLens, which is now the only high-end augmented reality headset you can buy, though it's a hefty $3,000.

The social networking giant on Thursday announced new apps for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

When Instagram first arrived on Windows Phones in 2013, it was a somewhat pale imitation of the experience you get on Android and iOS. Pop-up notification have also been added to these apps, to keep you coming back and stay updated with your social life on the internet.

This new application will replace the older Facebook Windows 8 app when it launches later today, though you'll still be able to use the prior version if you have it installed, says Facebook.

The most important feature that the new Instagram app brings is support for video uploads - a feature that still hasn't made its way to the official Windows Phone beta.
