We know there are many loyal fans who used Yahoo Messenger since its beginning as one of the first chat apps of its kind. As the communications landscape continues to change, we're focused on building and introducing new, exciting communications tools that better fit consumer needs.

No. Even with the app installed on your computer or phone, access to Yahoo Messenger is no longer available.
