Unfortunately, on android facebook purposefully disables parts of the website (chat in particular) to force oyu to install the app.
- noisem4ker 10y agoChat can still be accessed through mbasic.facebook.com. What other parts are disabled?
- maccard 10y agoThat's intentionally awkward. If I tap the messages icon on Facebook.com on mobile, I get redirected to a page telling me to download the app. Similarly, messenger.com points me to the App Store.
- CJefferson 10y agoI didn't know about that website. Thanks.
- lmns 10y agoOn the contrary: You can even enable push notifications with Chrome for Android. Chat included. I haven't touched the native apps for ages and everything works just fine.
- CoolGuySteve 10y agoChat is also disabled in the app. You have to download Facebook Messenger to get it. I suspect that decision to split the app comes from equal parts marketing and software engineering incompetence.
