Facebook is all set to launch new Facebook and Messenger apps on Windows 10 desktop.

An updated Instagram app for Windows 10 mobile will also be announced, The Verge reported.

Facebook and Messenger are arriving on Windows 10 phones "later this year", The Verge quoted the company as saying.

Facebook has a Windows 8 version of the desktop app.

Facebook has created a built-in browser to convince users to share articles to their News Feed. However, Live video broadcasting is not supported just yet and it would be coming soon.

The Windows 10 Messenger app has desktop notifications and supports photo sharing, stickers and group conversations.

Although payments, voice/video calling and taking photos/video within the app are not supported yet, the company will be updating Messenger over time.
