I have the Messenger app. When I first installed it, it asked me to do the following: - Enable Notifications - Enable access to my Contacts - Add my phone number to my FB account I respectfully refused to allow any of this. Every time that I opened the Messenger app, I got a pop-up asking me to enable Notifications. I enabled notifications, then went into my iOS settings and disabled them. This stopped the pop-ups, but now I see a red warning symbol on my Messenger "Me" icon in the lower right which wants me to enable Notifications once and for all. I also see another red icon on the People icon which says that I need to sync my contacts. I'm disappointed in the direction that Facebook is turning the Messenger app towards. They seem to be desperate for these three options to be enabled.
