Just a thought.
They already made Lite versions of Facebook and Instagram.
And a lot of the new functions (stories, screen share, and the avatar emojis) only come as bloat for users like me.
So i think they should make an official app that came without those “features”, having a priority on simplicity and data saving.
Oh i would love that the federated alternatives were #1.
But unfortunately most people i know still use Whatsapp, so i’ll stick with it for the time being.
And yeah, Meta just killed Messenger Lite, because Facebook Lite already had integrated messaging, so it didin’t make sense to sustain a separate app.
