Meta is removing its Messenger apps for Windows and macOS

Meta is getting ready to pull support for its desktop Messenger apps on Windows and macOS. Both apps have already been removed from the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store, and existing users are starting to get notifications that the desktop apps will disappear fully in December.

A Meta support page, first spotted by Apple Insider, reveals that Mac Messenger app users will have 60 days to use the app before it’s fully deprecated, and then a block will be put in place. The Messenger app on Windows is warning existing users that it will no longer be available on December 14th.

The removal of the Messenger desktop apps means existing Windows users will have to use the Facebook app or the web version of Messenger, and macOS users will only have the web as an option for Messenger communications. Meta is also planning to drop its native WhatsApp Windows app in favor of a web wrapper version soon, in what looks like a move to simplify WhatsApp development.
