I didn't have a choice about uninstalling the app on my old android phone. It was a built in app and all I could do was uninstall updates. I never installed the update that included the referenced version of messenger. On my new phone, I have never installed the app. I use use the website and it does 90% of what I want to do without the issue of running extra processes in the background on my phone. I'm waiting for the day that Facebook depricates and/or discontinues the mobile site to force people onto the app.

> I'm waiting for the day that Facebook depricates and/or discontinues the mobile site to force people onto the app. Messaging doesn't fully work in an Android browser. You might get a real-time notification badge, but my experience is 50/50. There is also an issue that if you do a manual refresh, you still might not get the new message notification. I imagine that there isn't a rush to fix these issues either.

  I use Chrome on my Android phone. I haven't experienced any problems with messaging. I don't want audible notifications. I'll get my messages the next time I check Facebook. This might not be ideal for everyone but it works for me.
