Facebook Messenger: now you can chat from more than one account without leaving the app

Facebook Messenger has recently released a feature available on Android that many users have been asking for for quite some time: the ability to chat from different accounts without leaving the application. This option is ideal for people who share a device, such as a family tablet.

How do I activate the different account option on Facebook Messenger?

1. Make sure you have the Messenger app updated.

2. Go to the Settings option (the wheel).

3. Tap the “Accounts” option.

4. Add the accounts you wish to add to this feature by entering the email account and password registered with Facebook. In order for someone to not use you account without permission, you can also set it to prompt for the password corressponding to that account each time you open it.
