What are you thoughts on Facebook messenger, /g/?
>inb4 botnet
It's genuinely a very comfortable messeging app, especially the overlay feature, I'm having a hard time thinking of what could replace that for sms, not to mention all the normie friends don't use anything else for online communication no more.
Don't get me wrong, I don't use fb at all apart from messeging and calling sometimes.
Living in Europe I'm pretty sure they can't even read or store anything I write so its a win win

Remove it from your phone and your battery will suddenly last way longer before dying. I just use basic Facebook to message my friends. Not as convenient but whatever.

This, but I use Lite instead.
I use messenger lite. It's very simple and comfy, a dark theme would be nice though.

I don't use Facebook so why'd I get that?

What will miss on the lite version?

Botnet
If you want to avoid the botnet, use the browser version. It's ugly, but >muh battery and >muh privacy are way better off. You'll get some "Install Messenger" bullshit messages, but you can avoid it.

Messenger Lite is much better. The original messenger is bloated as fuck.

>what will I miss
You can't rename group members and the group emoji isn't supported, you can only send a like. It doesn't have integrated emoji section so you have to use the keyboard's emojis.
There are also no games in it, which is good.

I think lite version doesn't have video calls too

Literally cancer which you have to suck up to stay in touch. I haven't seen a worse case of creeping functionality. This piece of hot garbage tries to substitute motherfucking Snapchat, a call manager, an SMS manager, a goddamn gaming platform and God knows what else, while still pretending to be a simple messenger app.
And despite all that bullshit it still refuses to work decently with the phone's camera.

I meant avoid the tracking of the shit in your phone. In the browser that's limited.
use SlimSocial. It's just a wrap around the mobile site but it has a dark theme.
