They can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.

I deleted Facebook from my phone the day they separated it from messenger. That infuriated me. They later even made it impossible to use the mobile website to view messages. I’ve since deleted Facebook entirely.

I really like how they are two separate apps. I don't want to have to open FB just to read a message.

Unless something has changed in the last 5 years or so, their Messenger app was by far the worst offender. If the app is even just installed on your phone, they are 100% harvesting all of the data on the device.
