Meta revealed it will discontinue its desktop Messenger
applications for both Mac and Windows operating systems starting December 15,
marking the end of a standalone app era for computer users.
The company stated users will have to access Messenger
through Facebook.com or Messenger.com after that date.
“Once the sundowning process begins, you’ll receive an
in-app notification. You’ll have a 60-day window to continue using Messenger
before the app is permanently shut down,” it explained. “But don’t worry — the
mobile app for Messenger will remain.”
Meta advised users who wish to preserve their chat histories
to activate secure storage before the shutdown, warning that conversations not
backed up will be permanently deleted. The Messenger desktop app has already
been removed from Apple’s App Store, signaling Meta’s broader shift toward
web-based and mobile platforms.
