Meta has recently launched a new type of AI glasses, designed to help users hear conversations around them more clearly. These glasses use an open-ear speaker design to amplify the voices of people talking to the user, enhancing the convenience of daily communication. This feature is especially suitable for use in noisy environments, such as cafes or busy streets, making it easier for users to participate in conversations.
Although the features of these glasses are promising, Meta also announced that its Messenger desktop application will stop service on December 15, 2025. The app was initially launched during the pandemic, but compared to competitors like Zoom, Messenger failed to provide enough video call participants, screen sharing, and convenient link sharing features, leading to its decreasing importance.
Meta has been gradually integrating Messenger back into the main Facebook app this year, aiming to improve the user experience. In the past, the Mac version of Messenger was developed using Catalyst, a technology that allowed developers to migrate iPad apps to Mac, but it received criticism from both developers and users because it lacked a native experience. Before that, the Mac version of Messenger was developed using technologies like Electron and React Native.
As Meta gradually discontinues the Messenger desktop application, users are directed to the Facebook website to continue using the service. Users without a Facebook account can directly access Messenger.com to log in without creating a Facebook account. Additionally, Meta also recommends users set up a PIN to save chat records, ensuring a smooth transition.
This update shows Meta's efforts in promoting technological integration and improving the user experience, while also reflecting the increasingly fierce competition in the social networking field.
Key Points:
📱 Meta launches new AI glasses to enhance the user's hearing experience.
🛑 The Messenger desktop application will stop service in 2025, and users need to switch to the web version.
🔄 Meta is integrating Messenger back into Facebook to improve the overall user experience.
