I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

Now I'm a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?

I thought Facebook lite didn't include messenger features? If they're bundling it all into one lite app, I'd actually say that's a GOOD thing.

I don't want to use Facebook on my phone. I just need to talk to people on there that refuse to use other apps.
