Duh! Why didn't I think of that. Thanks I'll do that for now and if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1946041 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 16:31:43 +0000 lemondrop 1946041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Initially I refused to download it because of all the hype. I need it for work purposes though, my graduates use it all the time and I'm in contact with them on a daily basis during boards windows. It really isn't a big deal at all, I've never had any problems with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1946015 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 14:59:17 +0000 PurplePeony 1946015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really use FB so I never bothered installing messenger. I wish I could delete the FB app but it won't let me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1946006 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 14:37:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1946006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I don't use Facebook messenger regularly. When someone sends me a message I go to facebook from the web browser on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945996 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 14:00:02 +0000 fairy 1945996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I use it. Messenger apps all need permissions like that to use the features. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945993 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:52:45 +0000 PurplePumps 1945993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse add the facebook messenger app. It was perfectly fine when it was with facebook app, but I don't need more crap on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945991 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:49:38 +0000 kiddosc 1945991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I never downloaded the messenger app, I just check my messages in the mobile Facebook site. I hardly even use the Facebook app at all since it doesn't show me as much as the mobile site. But I keeprit installed so I get notifications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945982 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:31:05 +0000 teawithpaloma 1945982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Yes, I deleted it at first. Then I read and realized it is just like other apps! I don't have time to go on the mobile version or wait to get onto my computer. I need immediate gratification of getting rid of my notifications! :wink: </p> <p>I think there is the opportunity for invasion but being on FB in itself is an invasion and they can do a lot with your data. I think you just sort of have to resign yourself to being part of "big data" marketing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945980 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:28:12 +0000 Dandelion 1945980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Anyone listening ibto my life would find me pretty boring lol</p> <p>I deleted the facebook app though cause it took up so much space, sent me too many notifications and I can get on fb with my phone's browser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-facebooks-messenger-app#post-1945977 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:25:40 +0000 BSB 1945977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I deleted the messenger app in the whole FB privacy issue where the terms say...<br /> <i><br /> Allows the app to change the state of network connectivity</p> <p>Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention.

Snopes said their terms are pretty standard like other apps. So think I might re-install the messenger app again.</p> <p>So do you have the Messenger App installed on your phone or ipad? </p>
