The new Facebook Messenger. Things you must know.

lol. i love people who complained about this at work. (i am a business specialist and general manager at rogers.) why are people making this such a huge deal? it's a messaging application for your cell phone. i repeat, your cell phone. if you want to message someone using your cell phone, why don't they just text message. you know, text message? the original phone messaging application? in the past 3 years of being in this industry, i have never seen anyone who did not have unlimited text messaging.

well, mr. delfonic, what about messaging outside of canada? there are a million other apps out there that can be considered as world messaging. download a different app. what's app, viber, gtalk etc. even email. friggin email someone.

geez. stop getting your panties in a knot.

I see your point, however, given the nature of facebook's ability to "keep in touch with people you wouldn't necessarily have in your phonebook", the majority of people would still want to use the service as opposed to having 500+ names on your contact list.


Nothing in life is free... but that won't stop people from complaining.

Thank god I'm not on facebook. I don't have to worry about my privacy and I can get things done on time.

Whether it's justification, excused, technical explaination, i think most people wouldn't want an app to turn on their front camera and mic whenever it chooses to, regardless of what the reasoning is.

This is standard for pretty much every app you've ever installed. Sounds like this is the first time you've realised the significance of allowing all those permissions.

If it bothers you (it bothers me), get an iPhone or Blackberry, as they let you choose which permissions you can allow or deny. You may lose functionality, but you gain control.
 
This is what happens when people don't understand technology and chose to spread opinions about it.

And while the message section of fb was working perfectily fine, they decided to add a whole separate app just because.

Well I mean, the original app has the same permissions as the messenger app so I don't see any more added (what would be) privacy invasions in installing the new app.

Though I will say this, I refuse to install that new app because it's such a waste of my God damn time and space on my phone.

Just use the browser to message people, guys.
 
If you're on android, root the phone and install xprivacy. Doesn't get much better than that. It will feed random or custom fake data to apps as per your settings.

That's the real problem... People believe the last thing they hear. If people actually cared then they can install Cyanogenmod and turn on Privacy Guard.
