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.

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

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