Facebook has begun notifying mobile users that they'll no longer be able to text via its core app. Instead, they'll need to download Messenger. The company started notifying some users last week. The update will roll out first to Android and iOS users in a handful of European countries.
"Messenger is a much faster and better experience and we've found that people get replies 20% faster on Messenger than on Facebook, 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."
Despite speculation, Facebook said at the time that it has no plans to merge WhatsApp, which lets users send unlimited messages for no more than 99 cents a year, with Messenger.
