        While I agree, the irony of a Google employee writing this is difficult to ignore. You can always use http://m.facebook.com

        I have many, many frustrations. Internal channels are not spared, but "whataboutism" when FB fails to lead to something better harms us all.

        if your friend only allows contact via FB, maybe they’re not really a friend?

        Not that your other options are better. I was using @whispersystems Signal, got a new phone - surprise, turns out you can't transfer any of your (not really yours apparently) conversations to your new device!

        Better: the platforms (iOS and Android) should focus on making the web UX better. Every app developer, including FB, would happily ditch native if they could give users a no-compromise UX on mobile web. (By this score, Google's doing an admirable job.)

        True, but it also illustrates that users aren't only optimizing for the last % of perf. The web still has huge distribution advantages on mobile, so developers will favor it once the UX is comparable. (I hope.)

        This was the point I uninstalled the Messenger app about a year ago (which I quite liked & used back then). Couldn't stand treated like a piece of sh•• like that. Still, ppl didn't stop using it just because I did, so I go to http://mbasic.facebook.com  & cringe every time. 2017😬
