Facebook users who use the APP via smartphone and also chat here are currently being advised that they should install the “Messenger” APP if it is not yet available on their smartphone.

Many users have been using this APP for a long time! Others don't.


SPONSORED AD


FYI: Facebook separated the chat function from the mobile apps for Android and iOS a long time ago.

So if you want to continue chatting with your friends on your smartphone, you have to install Messenger.

However, there is an alternative to avoid this “compulsion”!

However, there is a way to avoid the messenger obligation!

You don't open Facebook on your smartphone via the APP but via the BROWSER Smiley

You can also create a direct link to the mobile Facebook page on your smartphone home screen.
