I didn&#x27;t have a choice about uninstalling the app on my old android phone. It was a built in app and all I could do was uninstall updates.<p>I never installed the update that included the referenced version of messenger.<p>On my new phone, I have never installed the app. I use use the website and it does 90% of what I want to do without the issue of running extra processes in the background on my phone.<p>I&#x27;m waiting for the day that Facebook depricates and&#x2F;or discontinues the mobile site to force people onto the app.
