Redux: I Still Haven’t Downloaded The Facebook Messenger App

Well, it’s been over two years since I first complained about Facebook taking messaging out of their mobile app and requiring use of their dedicated messenger app. It’s even been over two years since I thumbed my nose at them about this and started using the web browser on my phone when I wanted to send Facebook messages rather than install their messenger app, switching back and forth between the Facebook app and the web browser as needed. It’s even been over a year since my update from that, stating things were still the same. Amazingly, still no change.

Really, I thought they’d force me over by now, killing the ability to send messages from the web browser version on phones. I still think they will, but can’t believe it’s been so long and they haven’t. It’s still irritating to have to do things this way, but I still haven’t gotten irritated enough that I want to download their messenger app.

I may never.
