Facebook pushing mobile web users to download Messenger app

Facebook has done it once before and it seems they’re doing it again. Some users of the mobile web version of Facebook are having a hard time accessing their instant messages on the mobile browser. According to Android Authority, these users have been getting a “Your conversations are moving to Messenger” and while it seems like just a friendly reminder, what that almost does is redirect you to the Google Play download page of Messenger. You can keep pressing back and try to get to your messages but it’s clear Facebook will keep nagging you to download the app.

If you don’t like the path of least resistance and keep wondering why Facebook is doing this, well the simple reason is Facebook has been putting in a lot of work into Messenger and they want you to use it. Plus, there have been rumours that ads are heading that way, too. Of course, you can hold out for as long as you can… or at least until you still have the option to.
