Apps that unify Facebook and Messenger to chat and post without having to install the two official apps
If you do not want to install both applications to have all the functions of Facebook, then to publish posts, see photos and then also chat with friends, you can install a new app (for android) unofficial that tries to reunite Facebook and Messenger together.
Phoenix for Android is a fairly recent free app that aims to unify Facebook and Messenger in order to make the installation of official apps unnecessary. While it still may have some shortcomings, it still covers all the main functions, including notifications and even audio and video calls. It also includes special features such as the ability to download videos from Facebook and also to use multiple Facebook accounts together.
Looking for alternatives, the other apps that allow you to connect to Messenger and Facebook together I’m:
– Metal, which simply uses the Facebook and Messenger chat websites as a browser would, with the ability to receive notifications.
– Mini for Facebook, similar is a simple app that works well for chatting with friends without downloading two apps.
– Friendly Social Browser, a very light client for Facebook that uses the mobile version of the site and also integrates the Messenger chat, without advertising and for free.
– Facebook Lite, official app for Android, integrates the chat within it
If you don’t want to install Facebook Messenger but still maintain access to the Facebook chat with a lighter app you can always use the app Messenger Lite, much lighter and more essential.
As an alternative app to Messenger, there is also the experimental app DISA that unifies Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and SMS into a single Android app.
