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?

Better them than companies who advertise to me directly

I don't use either one, for very obvious reasons

    Fair enough.

    Personally, I don't like using 30 year old technology to communicate. I avoid phone calls and I generally avoid SMS and it's derivatives.

    I work in IT and generally demand more from my messaging apps. I still avoid FB like the plague though.
