Facebook Messenger app - is it really the work of the devil?

[50ShadesofGreyMatter]

Hi,
All the young things have this and it would be convenient BUT I don't like the fact that it can access EVERYTHING on your phone, so can you all please give me your opinions/experiences, thanks

I find it useful. I can send words and pictures to people, and nearly everyone has Facebook (unlike WhatsApp, which only works for people with smartphones who have downloaded it)

Anyone else?

I use fb messenger/whatsapp & viber. All brilliant, all free

If you have friends & family abroad they are a god send, I remember the bad old days of weekly crackly phone calls & enourmous bills so I will put up with whatever the downside of the apps are!

I use Messenger all the time - like Trills says, pretty much everyone has Facebook. It's a hangover from when I was PAYG too - didn't have to pay for the text messages.

I use it daily, it's free and easy to use, what's not to like.
