This is such a shame. I was pissed enough when they killed the desktop app. Why not just make the iPad version available on Mac?

Continued enshittification at Meta. I don't care about privacy/encryption for my group chats and neither do a lot of people. Messenger was the last good, reliable, and fully cloud based messaging solution that most everyone was on.

Amazing that in 2026 there is not a single good messaging app. Whatsapp/Signal storing everything on device and going by phone number. is dumb and annoying. I've lost dozens of chats/photos/videos due to phone number changes, phone changes, ect. iMessage is terrible, full of spam and constant bugs/lack of feature parity on the Mac App, not to mention that half of my friends cant use it. All others have many of the same problems or just aren't used by that many people.
