The Messenger Desktop app is a standalone messaging app developed by Facebook that allows users to send and receive messages, make audio and video calls, and share files and media with other users without going through a web browser.

When you use the Messenger app on Windows, you can turn auto-start on or off, change your online status, turn message preview on or off, and more.

Another setting one can change in the Messenger app is to mute or unmute all notifications. When muted, you will not get notifications from the Messenger app when someone messages, calls, or waves at you.

There could be various reasons why someone would want to turn all notifications on or off in the Messenger app. For instance, if you are in a meeting, studying, or working on an important task, you might not want to be disturbed by notifications from the app.

On the other hand, if you are waiting for an urgent message or call, you might want to keep all notifications turned on to avoid missing out on anything important. Whatever the reason, it’s good to know that you can turn all notifications on or off in the Messenger app.
