Facebook’s Messenger Lite for Android to shut down in September
Meta appears to be killing the Facebook Messenger Lite app for Android in September. When opened, as usual, some users got an in-app notice citing that the Messenger Lite is going away and will not be functional after September 18.
In addition, the in-app notice also recommends users switch to the full-fledged Messenger application. Notably, the Lite version of Messenger was announced back in October 2016, especially for less-powerful Android devices.

Messenger Lite will no longer be available after September 18. There will be no impact to conversation history: “We know your chats are important to you, so everything from Messenger Lite is still available in Messenger.”
