Turn off chat. Nothing is forced onto you.

I never even turned it on. Since they split messenger off I can no longer read read messages on my cellphone...without installing a separate app. Functionality that worked perfectly fine previously until they decided to disable to force messenger onto people.

  • Can't you just open facebook.com in your phone's browser? I've been doing that for a couple of years since noticing that it's both faster and more reliable than the Facebook iOS app.

  • What about people that only want to use chat, without having the Facebook app. Especially since you don't need a Facebook account to use messenger.

  • I agree. It is terrible and I have stopped responding to messages on facebook when I'm on mobile.
