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?
Welp that's not happening, so long Myspace, I mean book of faces
weird... i use Facebook Lite and Messenger lite prompted me to continue my conversation there
So now people relying on the Lite variants will not be able to chat anymore, as Facebook Lite requires Messenger Lite a little time after it got released?
Use slimsocial to reply to those contacts that still insist to use that messaging app and tell them that you aren't reachable over there anymore, ghost any subsequent message
Probably time to bridge from XMPP then
