Facebook quietly announced plans to shutter its Messenger app for Windows
this week, informing individual users that the service will be
unavailable in its current form starting on March 3. The company hasn’t
offered an explanation for its decision, but confirmed the news to The Next Web earlier today.
Log into Facebook Messenger on Windows and you’ll likely see a
message at the top of the app apologizing that the company “can no
longer support” the app. “We really appreciate you using Messenger to
reach your friends,” Facebook adds, noting that you can still use the
service by heading to Facebook’s main website.
The news follows Facebook’s announcement earlier that a Messenger app will finally launch on Windows Phone
in the next few weeks. It’s unclear if there’s any connection between
these two announcements, but it seems possible the new messaging app
could work on both Windows Phone and the full Windows OS. Either way,
we’ll likely learn more early next month.
