Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) posted the following to its Messenger page on Wednesday:

"On behalf of the entire Messenger team, we'd like to thank the more than 1 billion people who are now using Messenger every month. People use Messenger to connect with the people and businesses they care most about. They make plans, share dreams, send payments, tell jokes, play games, let their loved ones know they're thinking of them and much, much more. We know that every message is important to you - no matter what you want to say - and we're grateful that you choose to communicate using Messenger.

"Thank you for using Messenger and being part of our one-billion-strong community. We're celebrating by launching our new, floating billion balloons so you can add a little fun and whimsy into your messages. Just send a balloon emoji in an open conversation to start celebrating!"

NOTE: TechCrunch also came up with a pretty neat graphic of Messenger's growth:
