Facebook May Be Adding Messenger Back to Its Main App

Facebook appears to be working on bringing Messenger chat features back to its main app, according to researcher Jane Manchun Wong who spends her free time reverse engineering popular apps.

Facebook is bringing the Chats back to the app for preparing integrated messaging. For now, this new "Chats" section seems to only contain the basic chat functionalities. To give message reactions, make a call, send photos, etc, you'd still have to open the Messenger app

Messenger was removed from the Facebook app back in 2014 but it may now see a return as CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly ordered the unification of the underlying messaging structure for Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram.


It's likely that the standalone Messenger app with its full functionality will remain available to users. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
