The Messenger logo, the messaging service of Meta, in its current version features a blue symbol in the form of a round chat bubble with a small tail and a white element inside shaped like a horizontal lightning bolt with rounded corners. The service was previously known as Facebook Messenger, and as the app developed into a separate product, the shorter name Messenger became established in the branding. The symbol changed several times: in 2020 the service received a multicolor gradient version, and in February 2025 Meta updated the icon again, bringing back a simpler blue color and slightly changing the inner element.
Messenger grew out of messaging inside Facebook and over time became one of the key products of Meta Platforms. Today, the service combines one-to-one and group chats, voice and video calls, photo and file sharing, as well as security features, including end-to-end encryption for personal messages and calls. In its current description, Meta calls Messenger an app for connecting with anyone, anywhere, while Google Play shows more than 5 billion installs, which clearly reflects its global scale.
