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 might be a bit annoying. On my Realme phone, no amount of setting changes stops it from killing Messenger randomly. It didn’t kill Lite so I could trust it, and put up with it despite its issues.
