This is the best summary I could come up with:
The app offers only the core features Messenger in order to hog less storage space and processing power.
Although Meta launched Messenger Lite for iOS, the company shut it down in 2020.
The news comes as Meta recently announced that Messenger is dropping SMS support next month.
The company notified users that they “will no longer be able to use Messenger to send and receive SMS messages sent by your cellular network when you update your app after September 28, 2023.”
Earlier this week, Meta said it plans to enable end-to-end encryption by default for Messenger by the end of this year.
The tech giant is also expanding its test of end-to-end encryption features to “millions more people’s chats.”
