Upload

On 2 April 2025, it was proposed that this article be moved from Messenger (software) to Facebook Messenger. The result of the discussion was moved.

Messenger Lite

I'm surprised that there is no mention that facebook stopped supporting the lite Messenger a few years ago, forcing users to download and install the bloated version. 83.11.215.7 (talk) 01:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

E2EE

It’s missing some information about Messenger switching to a E2EE protocol in early 2024. ~ nicolas (talk) 16:44, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2 April 2025

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. According to Community Consensus it was moved undiscussed and the community is providing a strong argument about moving it, some say per NATDAB, INCDAB along with WP:Natural.

Therefore I will count this as moved. (non-admin closure) Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 02:32, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Messenger (software) → Facebook Messenger – Should be moved to remove the parenthesis disambiguation, as is acceptable per WP:NATURAL. Formyparty (talk) 01:26, 2 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Frost 12:05, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article was formerly at Facebook Messenger; the current title is the result of an undiscussed move in 2021. @Anoopspeaks: 162 etc. (talk) 04:16, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as the service is not called Facebook Messenger. cookie monster 755 08:51, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support reversion of the undiscussed move. The current title shouldn't even be a primary redirect to this topic, "Messenger" could refer to many things such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Hike Messenger and probably more besides. Redirect it to Messenger per WP:INCDAB — Amakuru (talk) 13:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per NATDAB and INCDAB. – robertsky (talk) 15:23, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per NATDAB, INCDAB. Some news sources continue to call it Facebook Messenger[1][2][3][4] which confirms this is a good natural disambiguator.--MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 14:29, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
