Messy Messenger

[Kathleenmlk]

I'm having a BIG problem with Facebook Messenger. I had been trying to ignore the annoying "push" to use it, but it kept saying that I had messages, which I apparently couldn't get any other way. Despite my doubts (and negative reviews) I dowmloaded the awful thing, or actually sideloaded it, because Google wouldn't allow it. Well, "awful" is an understatement. The worthless nuisance made almost everything else crash or not open at all, and it wasn"t long before I had to uninstall 101 MB of garbage. I'm sure the phone's tiny memory of 8 GB had something to do with, but still...is there a reasonable alternative that I can use to receive messages without destroying anything else? There is a 32 GB SD card, but apparently useless for anything but photos and maybe videos.Xzibit

Have you tried just using your browser instead of the app for Facebook?
There's also Metal, Facebook lite, and others that may help

Try Facebook Lite, that certainly handles FB messaging no problems.
