Let’s settle this debate—Facebook with Messenger built-in or a separate app for Messenger?

Melisa: Let’s settle this debate—Facebook with Messenger built-in or a separate app for Messenger? Which one makes more sense, and when should you use either?

Some people swear by having Messenger as a separate app, while others like everything in one place. So what’s the deal here? Which option works best, and why?

Drake: If you use Facebook primarily to browse and occasionally chat, the main app should be enough. But if you’re a heavy Messenger user, the separate app is better—it’s faster, has advanced features like chat themes, and allows you to chat without distractions from your feed.
