I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

Now I'm a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?

All you are saying is its too convenient for you to stop using it. What makes it less convenient is learning about alternative ways to meet the same ends.

You'll find like a lot of others that giving up control to Facebook doesn't necessarily equate to the most convenient tool
