Fuck off. They can fuck off with that 'secret conversation' feature too.
stop copying snapchat already
No one uses the snapchat like features on other apps and its hikarious
they already did it with whatsapp, why bother, nobody even uses it
Here's a better idea Facebook: Please just merge the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps. It's just so pointless that they are separate, especially when you're forced to use the latter to message other people.

[QUOTE=Plaster;51937000]they were once together, then they separated them for no reason at all.[/QUOTE] TBH one of the useful features I can see people having which I found out when deactivating my account is you can still have the Messenger option enabled. I assume that if one service is down you can still contact your mates and whatnot, or if like me you disabled the timeline part of it. Still, two apps on your phone is cumbersome.
It sucks having two apps if you have a facebook account but like El_Jameo said, people with deactivated accounts can still message you. This is useful if you don't want a profile but still want to talk to people.
I still wonder why fucking messenger kills 340mb or something. Thats a whole game from the 90s, what the fuck.
I only have the messenger app, the facebook feed is trash so if I could connect my keyboard to my phone or use a similar website on my computer with just the chat I'd be set.
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;51937160]I still wonder why fucking messenger kills 340mb or something.

People pulling apart the APKs find thousands upon thousands of compiled Java classes. Along with all the assets needed for things such as stickers (because redownloading them when they are used wouldn't be a smooth experience tbh).

I'm surprised more people don't know about it. (there's a weird bug to log in, because it covers the entire page with a div that goes somewhere else. You can just inspect and delete it, then click login)

I vowed to never download messenger after the unnecessary and stupid app split, so I use this when I'm expecting a message that I'll need to reply to ASAP.
I only have messenger installed at the minute and it's a godsend. I hate facebook
