Facebook to shutdown its popular chat function forcing users to download its Messenger app

For many people, chatting to friends is a major reason to use Facebook’s app on their smartphone.

But soon they will have to download the social network’s partner app, called Messenger, to carry on their instant conversations.

Facebook is reportedly notifying users of its popular app that they will no longer be able to send 'chat' messages and will instead have to swap to Messenger, which was launched three years ago. It follows the company's acquisition of another popular messaging app, WhatsApp, for US$19billion.



‘Taking messages out of the Facebook app also lets us focus on making Messenger even better for everyone rather than working on two separate Facebook messaging experiences.’

The company halted messaging in the main app for people who have already downloaded Messenger in November, following the launch of Messenger 3.0.

Not just for status updates? In the future you could also use Facebook to make electronic payments and stash money. The social network is rumoured to be seeking regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to become an emoney institution
