Facebook removing messaging from main mobile apps

4.1
Facebook has revealed that it is opting to completely remove the messaging portion from their main mobile applications. What this means for users is being forced into using two separate applications to actually use Facebook in a meaningful manner. At the moment our sources only indicate that iOS and Android users are slated to receive these changes while both Windows Phone and tablet users will continue to enjoy messaging in the base Facebook application.

It seems abit drastic but i guess they know what they are doing

Everyone moaning about this I don't see why I've been using the messenger app a long while now and it is much better than the Facebooks app one

It's so they can make it better instead of it all compiled into one app

That's a pretty dumb move in my opinion. A lot of people still use the messaging part of it, why would they just get rid of it. This is probably going to get a lot of bad reviews.

Facebook is so stupid i barley even use it anymore it is becoming to much drama so this doesn't really bother me

They basically do this anyway already.. If you're trying to send a message on the hub app then you're re-directed onto the messaging app..

It doesn't really affect me, I use the apps separately anyways.

llbenll Well right now i'm glad i'm apple, if you get the messenger app on android it can see your text messages.


It can see your text messages?!?! That is really weird and I havent heard that at all.


Facebook can see all of your private messages if they wish on any platform... the admins on here could... it's just a thing that companies do to keep the network 'safe'
