Facebook Messenger App Now Lets You Make Calls
By: 
There may be no Facebookphone yet, but the social network has rolled out a new feature that lets iPhone users make calls using the Facebook Messenger app.
The tech giant updated its Messenger app this week to allow iPhone users to place calls over a WiFi network. A user simply taps the "i" info icon next to a contacts name and then "Free Call." The feature only works if the contact has shared their mobile number with Facebook and is available to take a call.
Facebook released its Messenger app for Apple's iPhone last fall, showing the company was serious about ramping up its reach into messaging and applications.
