The fact that you can't read messages (without switching to 'desktop mode') on their mobile web app is such horse shit. Yuck.

- hackerman12345 8y agoThat's what the Messenger app is used for.
- parthdesai 8y agoRight, the Messenger app that significantly slows down my phone and decreases it's battery life.
- andrew_ 8y agoYes, it's a tactic to get you to install that app so they can mine your calls, texts, and contacts.
- jonknee 8y agoYes, that's part of the horse shit.
- saudioger 8y agoWell no... there's nothing technically stopping them from supporting messages on mobile. This is what they do on mobile: * Lie to you about how many messages you have * Ask you to install an app to see those messages * Upon installing the app, give them permission to mine your data
- newscracker 8y agoEither that or you can go to the basic version at mbasic.facebook.com for an even poorer (though somewhat better in some senses, like having messages integrated) experience.
- chinathrow 8y agoFor now you can still read and write messages on https://mbasic.facebook.com https://mbasic.facebook.com - fast, pure HTML, no JS.

- d4l3k 8y agoI just graduated college and pretty much all of my friends and everyone I knew there used Messenger as default for text communication. There's plenty of other alternatives, but that's what people seem to prefer. It's a pretty decent app and in my opinion way better than the old built in FB messaging. I'd prefer to use Signal and my family uses it to communicate but it's definitely not as nice as Messenger.
