有一个很大的误解是,如果你想使用
Facebook Messenger,你必须登录Facebook本身并从Facebook 网站(Facebook website)或移动版访问聊天界面。没有东西会离事实很远。事实上,您甚至不再需要Facebook 帐户(Facebook account)来使用Messenger。
即使您有Facebook 帐户(Facebook account),也完全可以使用Messenger,而无需前往 facebook.com 附近的任何地方,甚至无需安装Facebook 智能手机(Facebook smartphone)应用程序。我应该知道。我已经
从我的 iPhone 上卸载了Facebook几个月,但我仍然使用(Facebook)Messenger。
使用 Messenger 智能手机应用程序(Use The Messenger Smartphone App)
如果您是重度智能手机用户(smartphone user),那么在这种情况下,只需将Messenger 应用程序(Messenger app)用于您的手机是有意义的。这是一个非常时尚、精心打造的应用程序,我对它没有任何问题。它甚至还有游戏,您可以通过电话联系(phone contact)打篮球!iPhone版本(iPhone version) 在这里(is here),Android版本在这里(is here)。
我特别喜欢“黑暗模式”以及自毁消息(我将在另一篇文章中讨论)。
使用独立的 Messenger 网站(Use The Standalone Messenger Website)
您可能知道也可能不知道Messenger实际上在messenger.com拥有自己的独立网站(standalone website),由Facebook自己制作。在这里,您可以登录您的Messenger 帐户(Messenger account)并使用它,而无需靠近您的Facebook 时间线(Facebook timeline)或任何其他浪费时间的干扰。
基于浏览器,您可以在浏览器中为新消息设置通知,通常它的工作方式和外观与智能手机应用程序(smartphone app)完全相同。唯一的区别是似乎没有任何黑暗模式、自毁消息以及通常在Messenger上提供的其他一些花里胡哨,例如Facebook Stories。
但是,如果您不介意所有这些,如果您想监控您的消息而不是不断地陷入Facebook 时间线(Facebook timeline)黑洞,那么messenger.com是一个理想的解决方案。(t bother)
Mac 用户可以使用 Mac 版 Messenger(Mac Users Can Use Messenger For Mac)
Mac用户有一个非常好的软件可能性(software possibility),它有一个非常原始的名称——“ Messenge r for Mac ”。这不是(NOT)由Facebook制作的,正如该网站所明确指出的那样,它是“由 Messenger 粉丝制作的免费和开源项目”。但我已经在我的Mac上使用了很长时间,而且效果非常好。
同样, Facebook Messenger(Facebook Messenger)似乎没有任何暗模式(Dark Mode)或其他功能。这只是Messenger(Messenger)的精简版,您可以在Mac上运行并固定在
Dock上。但并不是每个人都想要最新的闪亮物体。
使用一体化解决方案(Use An All-In-One Solution)
曾经有一段时间,您拥有单独的聊天客户端,例如MSN Messenger、Yahoo Messenger、ICQ、Google Talk……然后趋势转向将这些服务整合到一个平台中,因此我们有了Trillian、
Pidgin、Adium等在。
尽管现在很多这些单独的聊天服务已经关闭,但我们仍然有Messenger、Slack、Skype、Signal、Telegram等服务。因此,您可能需要“下一代”一站式聊天平台。我使用和推荐的两个是Franz和Rambox。
缺点是他们只给你你的消息,没有别的(显然你也可以回复,但我的意思是不要指望任何可爱的贴纸或任何东西)。
其次,没有手机版(phone version),所以这些都是纯桌面版。但是有适用于Windows、Mac和Linux的版本,如果您只需要消息,那么将所有内容都放在同一个地方会非常有帮助。
4 Ways To Make Facebook Messenger a Standalone App
Τhеre’s a big misconcеption that if you want to use
Facebook Messenger, you must be signed into Facebook itself and access the chat
interface from the Facebook website or the mobilе vеrsion. Nothing could be
further from the truth. In fact уou don’t even need a Facebook account anymore
to use Messenger.
Even if you do have a Facebook account, it is
perfectly possible to use Messenger without going anywhere near facebook.com or
even having the Facebook smartphone app installed. I should know. I’ve had
Facebook uninstalled from my iPhone for months but I still use Messenger.
Use The Messenger Smartphone App
If you’re a heavy smartphone user, it makes sense in this case to just use the Messenger app for your phone. It is a very sleek, well-built app and I have had no issues with it whatsoever. It even has games on it where you can play basketball with a phone contact! The iPhone version is here and the Android version is here.
I particularly like “Dark Mode” as well as the
self-destructing messages (which I will be discussing in another article soon).
Use The Standalone Messenger Website
You may or may not know that Messenger actually has its own standalone website at messenger.com, made by Facebook themselves. Here you can log into your Messenger account and use it without going anywhere near your Facebook timeline or any other time-sucking distractions.
Being browser-based, you can set notifications in your
browser for new messages and generally it works and looks exactly the same way
as the smartphone app. The only difference is that there doesn’t seem to be any
dark mode, self-destructing messages, and a few other bells and whistles
normally offered on Messenger such as Facebook Stories.
However if all that doesn’t bother you, messenger.com
is an ideal solution if you want to monitor your messages without constantly
getting drawn into the Facebook timeline black hole.
Mac Users Can Use Messenger For Mac
Mac users have a really nice software possibility with a really original name – “Messenger for Mac”. This is NOT made by Facebook, as made clear by the website which states that it is a “free and open-source project made by fans of Messenger”. But I have used this on my Mac for a very long time and it works wonderfully.
Again there doesn’t seem to be any Dark Mode or other
features normally offered by Facebook Messenger. This is just a stripped down
bare-bones version of Messenger you can run on your Mac and have pinned to your
Dock. But not everybody wants the latest shiny object.
Use An All-In-One Solution
There used to be a time when you had individual chat
clients such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk…..then the
trend moved to combining those services into one platform, so we had Trillian,
Pidgin, Adium, and so on.
Even though a lot of these individual chat services have now shut down, we still have things like Messenger, Slack, Skype, Signal, Telegram, and so on. So the “next generation” of one-stop chat platforms might be what you need. Two which I have used and recommend are Franz and Rambox.
The downsides are that they only give you your
messages, nothing else (obviously you can reply too, but what I mean is don’t
expect any cute stickers or anything).
Second, there is no mobile phone version so these are
purely desktop only. But there are versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it
is enormously helpful to have everything in the same place if all you need are
your messages.
