Comment I like the service, not the app. (Score 1) 155
Because Messenger (as a service) is the only way I get messages from some people. I either stop talking to those people, piss those people off by constantly cajoling them into switching services, or just talk to them the way they want to talk to me.
But Messenger (as an app) is a hateful piece of programming. I haven't had the battery issues others do, but it consumes too much memory, and causes other parts of my phone to misbehave (camera, etc.) so I'm happier not using it.
