Facebook forces users to install Messenger apps

Facebook announced, in the future, if mobile users want to text on this social network, they will have to install the Facebook Messenger application.

Next time, mobile Facebook users will have to install an Messenger app if they want to chat

According to CNET , this move is part of Facebook's strategy of developing an independent messaging application, which supports Slingshot feature ( a type of self-destructive message ).

Facebook said that Facebook Messenger application has stability and ability to handle message content 20% faster than Facebook application.

Previously, mobile users could message directly on Facebook via the "chat" feature available in this application. However, after Facebook acquired WhatsApp , they wanted to split chat into a standalone application.

For computer users, Facebook still allows texting while surfing "face" without having to install additional Messenger applications.
