Whatsapp isn't available for Firefox OS but Facebook messages are a good alternative. We'll show how to get started chatting.

Start a chat

Quickly message anyone you know on Facebook.

  1. Open the Facebook app, tap on the messages icon and select the new chat button.
    New FB Message
  2. Start to type the name of the person you want and a list of your friends will show up. When you see the one you want, just tap on it.
    Select a friend
    • To add another person to the chat, tap to the right of the first name and type the name of another friend. Then tap on the friend you want to add.
      Add a friend
  3. Now you can start chatting away. Don't forget to hit Send after you type your message.
Tip: If you don't already have Facebook installed, you can get it here.
