Microsoft hasreleased Windows 11 build 25284to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel today, which includes support for a new Facebook Messenger widget in the Widgets Panel. Sadly, today’s build is not available on ARM64 devices due to a bug that causes issues when booting.

The new Facebook Messenger widget can be accessed once Insiders in the Dev Channel update the app to the latest version via the Microsoft Store. From there, you can pin the Facebook Messenger widget in the Widgets Panel just like any other Windows Widget currently.

Here’s the changelog for today’s build:
