Facebook Messenger replaces Beluga starting November 11

Beluga group messaging app was acquired by Facebook back in March, it was only a matter of time before the service would get shutdown.

Now, we have the official deadline for when still loyal Beluga users will have to make the transition to something else. And that will most likely be Facebook version of the service, a standalone app launched back in August calledFacebook Messenger.

Beluga will stop working starting November 11, but users will still be able to access chat archives. Users have until December 15 to download their archives and pods before the service is completely shutdown. The news comes at the same time that the Facebook Messenger app gets updated with support for 22 languages on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.
