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?

If I'm always going to where my friends are, and they never come to where I am, are they really my friends?

These are the questions I constantly mull over to try to figure out. It's extremely important to me that me and my friends are on equal footing, we're both partners in the friendship, neither is following the other's lead. I've lost many friends by simply not being the first person to send a message.

To me, I'd rather have fewer friends who have me as an active part of their life, versus a lot of friends I'm constantly making concessions for that wouldn't do the same for me.

With all that said, I'm not you and I have no control over your choices. Do what you will.
