I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

Now I’m a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?

    This sucks.

    Can’t ditch it completely due to family, but got a few more contacts over on Signal after this announcement.

      Just log in to Facebook on desktop every couple of days. If they want speedy responses, they will know yto try an aternative medium.

      I don’t use Facebook so I don’t know -

      Why can’t you just have a group text with your family.

        Because SMS doesn’t support group chats and MMS is expensive garbage (50c/300kb is fucked)
