Facebook made a brutal change about 5 years ago. The app forced all users to download the alternative Messenger app in order to chat with contacts This change angered a lot of people but now, 5 years later, it seems that this option might be available again.
As Jane Manchun Wong mentions on her Twitter, this feature has been discovered within the application code.Despite this, Jane assures that in this chat it would not be possible to call, share photos or react to the contents of other contacts. This is good news and I'm sure many are happy that this chat returned to the most important Facebook application.
Will we have Messenger again inside Facebook?
It is not clear if this feature could reach users in the future or if it is just a test. Today Messenger has 1.3 billion monthly users, but it would be great if Facebook allowed people to choose how they communicate with their friends. Besides that, this chat would also be great for the Marketplace (the best alternative to Wallapop), which works a bit rough today.
As of today, Facebook has not commented on this feature. Therefore, we have no choice but to wait for Facebook to do something with this change. If Messenger reaches the beta version of Facebook in more users, they may be considering adding it in the future. Otherwise, it could be a simple test.
Many users stopped using Facebook after this modification
Unsurprisingly, this discovery has made many users cheer after the displeasure that led to the removal of the chat from the main application a few years ago. It seems like yesterday but it's been 5 years since Messenger disappeared from Facebook. For others, this change was very positive, since now they can talk with their friends without having to have Facebook installed on their phone and away from the hustle and bustle of the wall.
This announcement comes a month after the CEO of the company announced that they would focus their application on groups and private conversations, instead of promoting public forums that have caused so many problems. the company.Will it be a good time for Messenger to return to the official application and let users choose whether to use the secondary one?
