Messenger will once more be integrated into the Facebook app, Meta said. Almost 9 years following Messenger was separated from the Facebook app, the company decided to merge them once more. Facebook boss Tom Alison says the company is “testing the ability for people to access their Messenger inbox within the Facebook app” and lets users know we’ll see “expansion of that test soon.”
The goal of merging Messenger with Facebook is, according to Tom, to make it “easy and convenient for people to connect and share, whether it’s in the Messenger app or directly on Facebook.” In 2014, when Messenger was pulled from Facebook, the company said the goal was to “focus development efforts on making Messenger the best possible mobile messaging experience and avoid the confusion of having separate mobile messaging experiences on Facebook “. Now, we don’t know how Meta intends to do this junction, how the Messenger interface will be organized to work together with the Facebook app, but it’s still nice to be able to have a single app to do everything.
Meta search for changes to Facebook
In an attempt to make Facebook more popular than TikTok, Meta aims to change the way people interact within its social network. Rather than being a platform for keeping in touch with friends and family, Facebook will be a place for entertainment and discovery. Tom Alison, head of Facebook, says he wants to “make it easier for people to share what they discover on Facebook through messages, when, where and how it suits their needs, without having to switch to another app.”
The goal is bringing Messenger back to Facebook with the main justification being that it “makes it easier for people to share what they discover on Facebook through messages, when, where and how it suits their needs, without the need for to switch to another application.”
