A month ago , I met an sometime booster of mine . He was toy with his earphone with an irritating look on his face . When I involve him the reason , he replied ‘ I do n’t want to use the Messenger app . I just require my sometime Facebook back ’ .
So , Facebook has made some big changes in its mobile app . originally , user can reply to their content from the Facebook app itself , but now you take to download an additional app called Messenger , to institutionalize and receive Facebook messages .
And like most Facebook updates , people do n’t like this one either . Why download an extra app , when you could do the same affair , from the existing one . The Messenger app is going to eat your phone resources and has some very spoilt concealment policies .
There are few workarounds on the internet , to turn off the Messenger app . Like add the previous variant of the Facebook app or canceling the download in half way . But they do n’t work well in the long run .
But thankfully , a Redditorhas come up with smart workaround to incapacitate Facebook Messenger . Though , this only works on Android and requires ROOT .
