Cutting some slack for the windows OS users, the social media giant Facebook has introduced a new feature for the Messenger app. Now Messenger app users in the windows OS platform can also call using the app to their Facebook friends around the globe.

The phone icon on the updated Messenger is on the top right corner of the screen in the Windows 10 app. A chat glows green when the other person is currently active, Venturebeat reported.

When you start a call, the app asks the user if the "calls use Wi-Fi or your data plan". This is a little odd because a Windows 10 computer does not have a data plan.

"Currently, the Windows Phone app does not have voice and video calling," a Microsoft spokesperson was quoted as saying.

According to the report, in July, Facebook said 10 per cent of all Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls went through the Messenger.
