Facebook is one of the widely used social media platforms. Facebook chat was earlier used to have personal and group conversations that were similar to Whatsapp. Later Facebook made a standalone app called Facebook Messenger instead of Facebook chat.
Messenger is currently used by over a billion people in 2017. Previously Facebook introduced ‘Messenger bots’ to help brands and individuals create services that could help the people.
