The Workplace Chat app lets you keep in touch with your coworkers, wherever you are. Simply sign in to your existing account, or create one from scratch in the app itself.
With messaging tools your teams already knows how to use, Workplace Chat lets you:
- Send messages to individual coworkers, or have group conversations.
- Share unlimited files, photos and videos.
- Make voice and video calls from anywhere in the world.
- Turn on "Do Not Disturb" when you're busy or away from work.
Workplace Chat is ad-free and totally separate from Facebook and Messenger, making it easier to balance your work and private lives.
Workplace Chat from Meta Positive Reviews
Love itI use the app pretty heavily for work, basically it’s the key tool to communicate with my peers. I find the fact that it’s similar to messenger super helpful because it makes the experience very intuitive. The app doesn’t feel too business-y, but it does provide everything you need (group chats, video calling, document sharing, etc)..BalochaVersion: 167.0
Love Workplace Chat!I like that it’s separate from the regular Workplace app because it allows me to prioritize my messages over other notifications. It’s easy to use and access to my messages is quick and easy..Matthew PaezVersion: 170.0
NotificationsI would like to have an unusual tone on my work chat to let me know that there’s a message DIRECTED TO ME so i don’t have to stop my work to check with work chat, only to find out that it doesn’t apply to me. Otherwise i love that it allows me to communicate more effectively without running all over to look for someone.TbonechipsmomVersion: 424.1
Great service, chat app can use work- audio quality is somewhat poor when compared to other business messengers
- more collaboration tools would be handy for screen sharing, a pointer, pencil to circle objects etc.
- adding an attachment to chats natively in the app, use the iOS Share feature is a good option.
- dark mode for the app
- color themes.NovaPAiNEVersion: 202.0

Inline replies is a urgent needApp is great, but need updates.
This app needs an update asap to make it easy to reply for particular messages (similar to what whatsapp has). It is very difficult to respond to specific messages in group conversations and leads chaos..Vishnug533Version: 178.0

Works really well but no Out-of-office featureThis app is great to collaborate with colleagues across various locations.

Workplace Chat from Meta Negative Reviews
From Workplace Chat to Workplace Trash with one single updateI’ve been a big fan of workplace by Facebook for years. My entire team of 60 plus uses it every day. Well, they have just massively RUINED IT! The new update is absolute GARBAGE and it’s almost like they went back in a Time Machine to 12 years ago when apps where barely developing. This is horrible Facebook. We expect way more from you.
They took away voice messages. I can’t send a short 10 second video recorded on my phone. Voice calls dont work well. It doesn’t even ring. Phone calls don’t work. I mean, the list is EXTENSIVE.
Let me count the number of times that I’ve left negative reviews on the App Store.... 1,2,3,4,5. ZERO! So you get the idea. I’m furious. It has slowed down my speed of production and communication with my team by easily 80%.
I figured out that if you delete the app and re-install you can get the old version back. I did that and I also stopped automatic updates from happening to avoid getting the same trash put back in my phone (It happened twice until I figured out I had to stop automatic updates).
Hopefully Facebook fixes this horrible update soon..Many198Version: 264.0
Newest Update May 2020 is Terrible for a Great AppThis app was one of my favorites for our office communication. It was already simple enough but removing key features like audio messages in the name of simplicity makes this chat less & less useful. Notifications don’t work right anymore either. I feel this was a step backwards in the design and user interface. I NEVER had issues with crashing or the app just spinning upon opening until the newest update was released. I wish I could go back to the older version because I really enjoyed it..AtHomewithChuckVersion: 264.0
Please stopPlease stop making it impossible to use the chat function without downloading a new app. It absolutely kills the functionality for business purposes. Maybe you can justify the messenger app for the market of people who are using the app to keep up with their friends and are using it constantly (still unlikely), but for the professionals using your app we want simplicity and ease that doesn’t waste our time. A new app, with constant pointless notifications, wastes time, space and is not necessary as it worked just fine to chat using the mobile web browser. Please undo this change..JosKCLPCVersion: 155.0
CALL BUGWhen someone calls me within workplace chat, the notication and call screen will get stuck even if I answer it on another device and drain my battery on my ipad causing it to get really hot. For instance, I answer the call on my computer workplace chat app, but I come to my ipad HOURS later and that call will appear as it is still ringing, my ipad will be really hot and sometimes in my backpack, battery drained down from 100% to 1-10% remaining. For now I have shut off notifications on my ipad for this app, hoping it will be updated..WoruckwVersion: 287.0
Since the last update this is a problem.For iphone users for sure. The sound notifications don’t stay on, the “schedule” doesn’t stay enabled when you go through it, and notifications in general are spotty and not reliable. With eXp Realty, this is critical for our referrals. Our tech support won’t help and Facebook says to contact our tech. It’s very frustrating because our company uses this for main communication and lead sharing. Not sure what happened after the last update but it’s a mess..AimeliseFLVersion: 328.0
Locked outThe app constantly kicks me off, which up until recently wasn’t too much of issue other having to log back in. Now , I am locked out everytime I click accept it states something is wrong with my Internet connection. I even tried connecting with my work Internet, my home Internet and my personal data. The only way I can access it now is to login through one login, then work place then click on chat. So having the actual app for work chat is completely useless..BBW449Version: 317.0
Update took away featuresI WAS LOVING THIS APP...! I enjoy using workplace and workplace chat. But I am so disappointed that after the update I can no longer send audio messages. I use these a lot to clarify things with my employee. They load much quicker than video and they are a quick way to communicate effectively. I use this to keep business and personal communications separate and now I have to resort to using regular fb chat to be able to send audio messages. I am so frustrated. PLEASE BRING BACK AUDIO MESSAGE..LaurenfranceshairVersion: 264.0
Removed extremely useful featuresNo more searching the chat? That’s a deal breaker. Our organization needs to be able to search for previous diecuesions, and now we can’t due to the most recent update.
Beyond that, the interface has gotten more clunky. Replying to a specific message requires us to swipe up from the bottom instead of just tapping the message and having the interface pop up right there.
This is now barely functional for our organization. Please roll back these downgrades..AugustDittVersion: 275.0
Features are gone.Hello! I am very annoyed with the new update, it was perfect the way it was before, now there are no stickers, can only send one photo at a time, can’t edit the chats. And so many other features that made this app functional and nice to use. Now it is a constant battle of finding all the changes and inconveniences. I really hope in the next update they bring back key features that made this better and less “simple” as they state it..TarableWithTechVersion: 264.0
So buggy and painfulThis platform is so flawed. If someone new messages you, you can’t write them back without figuring out how to clear the cache and reload all your data, and the process is different on mobile vs desktop. On top of that, some users show up as themselves, and others as an anonymous “Workplace User” with no indication how to fix it. This platform adds so much friction to work compared to Slack, Teams etc..Jmachacek1208Version: 417.0
Every other update renders the app unusableEvery other update I can’t access my chats because it thinks I have no internet. I have cellular internet on, full bars and it won’t connect.
This happens every other update and as one of my only ways to contact my coworkers this means I lose days or weeks worth of information.
If I was allowed personal phone numbers instead of this I’d never use it again..JesvalentineVersion: 347.0
Rendered useless since latest iOS updateSince update to iOS 15.0.1 in October 2021: Workplace Chat App does not pull messages over from desktop version. Messages are grayed out and/or disappear.

Said I had a message, forced to download, it was Workplace -_-Okay, so the workplace app is great. I kept having a notification that said I have 1 new message. However, it won’t let you see your chat messages without installing another app (this one), which is plain dumb.
I finally decided to download it and it turns out the message was from Workplace saying “Hi _____, welcome to work chat. Reach any worker instantly by sending a message.”

Very BADPrevious year we loved this app there were a lot of features that help our communication.
Since last year with the new update, after they increased the price, this app is worthless.
What is bad:
Calls are impossible to make.
Sometimes you can’t see if other saw your message
We can’t sketch on the pictures anymore
In order to see a picture you need to open and close one by one so frustrating
Impossible to download pictures from PC, you need to download pictures by pictures.

No Integration, UselessThe hallmark of a good app is multi-functionality and usefulness.
This app is has a one note future and showcases the lack of foresight by its creators for not including it as part of Workplace.
The fact that Workplace itself keeps prompting you to download this app makes it clear that they are trying to generate two revenue streams out of one idea.
