Facebook Messenger hits 1 billion monthly users

20 July, 2016
Back in February, Facebook-owned WhatsApp announced that it has more than one billion users who are active each month. That was the second Facebook property to reach that milestone, after the social network itself of course.

    F facebook and its forcing messenger BS. I was pissed off, but then I found, that when you stop using Chrome and switch to lets say - Opera, everything works fine on mobile website. Makes me think...did fb paid Google to make this crap happen? I wonder.

        The privacy settings in Facebook is a joke.

        It's not the government's spying that bothers me, but the whole fact that pretty much everyone on my friend list can see what I liked or commented on.

        There's no privacy there anymore. *long sighs*

          Twitter feels more realistic than Facebook anyway.

            Not me and seems hard to believe!

              ...That's 'bowl sheet'!!
              Facebook force me to install Messenger to be able to see the message, then keep unlimited notification in Facebook if I yet install it......

                This is why I don't download this useless app. Just checking messages through web and that's all.

                    Only using it because call notifications do not show up on the browser version.

                      Facebook: the app that wastes battery and memory while providing zero additional functionality over the web page version.

                        divis200, 20 Jul 2016Messenger doesn't work there anymore.he mean to say is, the basic mobile version... basic.facebook.com. Messaging is still working there, I use it on opera mini stream mode. See how pointless having those heavy pointless terrible fb apps!
