No Messaging on Facebook Web App

Facebook Messaging
According to recent information, Facebook has decided to disable Messaging in its web app. It is worth mentioning here that Facebook Mobile site has been widely used by Facebook fans. The main reason is many people still have old mobiles with old OS versions and they are unable to upgrade to latest versions. Moreover many devices don’t have Facebook client app. So the main source of Facebook is Web App for these users. It is really a bad news for old Facebook fellows.

No the question arises, why Facebook has decided to take this action? Most probably it is a marketing tactic to promote Facebook Messenger. Facebook is working hard to promote its messenger app. Facebook has a valid reason that they want to optimize messaging experience and it can only be possible with messenger app.

Although Facebook messenger is feature rich with features like Video, stickers, chatbots etc. But Facebook should give liberty to their fans about opting a web app or messenger. Facebook has a huge fans network and such imposed decision may decrease there popularity. Facebook Lite is still offering chat and in my opinion it will become an alternative to web app.
