- You may be surprised to read this, but, yes, Yahoo Messenger is still up and running. In fact, the longstanding service seems to be here to stay as it just received new desktop apps that should.
- In the Window is Yahoo Messenger with the smiling yellow face, next to that an arrow pointing to a Blue Folder named Applications. Drag the Yahoo Icon to the Applications and drop it. It will copy to the Applications folder. You can also grab that Yahoo Icon and in Finder drop it in Applications. Either way will work.

MAC OS X 10.10 Yosemite and later: Yahoo Messenger is not compatible To continue delivering a safe, secure, and stable Yahoo Messenger for Mac, Yahoo Messenger won’t be supported on versions newer than Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
I have downloaded it and I get a msg that tells me to move it from the download folder to the application folder to install it. I do this, but then how do I install it?
Does anybody have any experience with this program?
Around six months after launching the revamped Messenger app on mobile and the Web, Yahoo has announced that the application is now available on Windows and Mac as well. The announcement came in the form of a blog post from Yahoo's senior director of product management Austin Shoemaker.
'Want to share photos from your latest vacation or simply spice up a message? Save precious time with our drag and drop feature to share multiple photos at once,' Shoemaker said. 'Then, spread the love by “liking” any posts or images that stand out to you. If you’d rather reply with a GIF, you can easily search and send GIFs to your heart’s content. Pro tip: play GIF roulette and type /gif + any search term.'
The application also features desktop notifications as well as the unsend button that you can use to take back a message, photo or GIF after it's sent. For those using the old version of the Yahoo Messenger desktop app, it's worth mentioning that your app will stop functioning on August 5.
