Facebook Messenger announced for Windows Phone

[Windows Central]

Today in Barcelona, Microsoft announced a new Facebook Messenger app coming for Windows Phone in the ?coming weeks?. The app was a collaboration between Microsoft and Facebook and ensures the top messaging experience for Windows Phone users.
The app was one of the most requested features to have a standalone, regularly updated app for Windows Phone and now it will be open to all users going forward.
No word on specific functions, but because it is a standalone app, it can be updated with new features on a regular basis.

I'm guessing 8.1, it probably deals with new API.

They said coming in the next few weeks, not in the next 2 months

I wouldn't be so sure that their timetable is absolutely correct. Few weeks could mean two months for all we know. A few is a very imprecise measurement. But I could be wrong, and I'd happily be wrong.
