Facebook kommer att plocka bort Messenger-funktionen på sin mobila webbplats och hänvisa användare direkt till Messenger-appen.
Messenger kommer att försvinna från den mobila hemsidan och Facebook har redan börjat övergången och visar nu ett meddelande för användare som vill använda Messenger på den mobila hemsidan.
Det innebär att du som valt att använda den mobila hemsidan istället för den officiella appen (och spara batteritid) inte kan göra det längre som du vill ha full funktionalitet.
And really, it strikes me as quite a hostile move, as it did before when they axed messaging from the main app. If, as everyone in the company is constantly repeating, mantra-like, that they want to connect the world, shouldnt a diversity of access options be part of that?
The usual excuse, whoch I am expecting to receive at any moment from Facebook PR, whom I contacted for details, is that the company wants to provide the best possible experience in messaging, and the Messenger app is the platform on whoch theyve chosen to provide it so to avoid confusion theyre consolidating everyone there. (Update: thats totally the statement I got, it even said best experience)
I dont think a single person has ever bought that particular load of horsefeathers. Its pretty plain for anyone to see that its easy to embellish, enroch and, of course, monetize a powerful platform like Messenger, while its near-impossible to do so with basic text-based chat.In other words, one service provides valuable utility to users, but not to Facebook. Cant have that!
